Dutch term

droge lengte

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
'Indien de totale gestrekte lengte van de delen van de rookgasafvoer (gespecificeerd in de lijst van onderdelen) groter is dan de maximale droge lengte (gespecificeerd in de technische gegevens) moet een condensafvoer worden toegepast.'

Is this 'dry-out length'?
Proposed translations (English)
2 dry length / dry flue length

Proposed translations

1 hr
Selected

dry length / dry flue length

apparently the same concept can be used in English, however possibly there is another more common translation or is a descriptive translation a better option


anyway, the 'droge lengte' is the flue length before the point where condensation will take place

De rookgassen van de Nefit Economy VR-toestellen
zullen na een bepaalde lengte van de rookgasafvoer
gaan condenseren. Deze lengte wordt aangeduid als
droge lengte. De maximale droge lengte wordt bepaald
door het condensatiepunt van de rookgassen in de
afvoerleiding.

4.10 Condensate Drain Connection
(If Applicable)

With reference to Section 3, should your flue be greater than the
"Dry" flue length stated, then a condensation drain should be
fitted.
