English term or phrase: power station
Source text:

"All three lines, loaders and furnaces are designed to operate with uniform peel boards of dimension 58x98 centimetres, so that the products can alternatively be baked in one of the other furnaces in case of faults. Heating is provided by two thermal oil boilers with each 1,000 kW heat output, which are placed in the power station."

What does "power station" mean in this context?

Thanks for your help!

Explanation:
Generally a "power station" refers to an electric power station, or a nuclear one. In this case it is just the space that houses the two thermal oil boilers providing the heating, which is why it is called a power station.
In Spain, a room where the boilers are housed is called a "cuarto de calderas".

neutral  Christian [email protected]: Seems excessive for a piece of kitchen equipment, however large. I have designed commercial kitchens, and never needed a separate room for boilers.
