Dosierpumpe DDA

English translation: DDA (= Digital Dosing Advanced)

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Hydraulics / Pumps
German term or phrase: Dosierpumpe DDA
Context: Operating & maintenance manual for industrial water treatment system.

This dosing pump / metering pump appears briefly as an element in this water treatment system. What I can't figure out is the "DDA." DDA seems to be a higher-end type or product line, based on these pages:
http://net.grundfos.com/Appl/ccmsservices/public/literature/...
https://www.doskorin.de/de/grundfos-dda

Could it be translated as "DDA series" or "DDA model"? But I suspect that DDA could stand for something, although no resource so far has explained it. Perhaps Digital Acquisition?

The source document indicates that the pump mentioned is a Grundfos brand pump, likely model DDA 7.5 16 based on a reverse image search.

I'd be grateful for any professionals' technical input :)

Explanation:
As DDA is a model/type, you should leave it as it is and say (Grundfos) DDA pump (or dosing pump). However, according to the Grundfos website, DDA in fact stands for Digital Dosing Advanced.
