Albanian term or phrase: franko
Full sentence:

"Ky shkarkues eshte parashikuar te shkarkoje gjysmen e prurjes maksimale me lartesi sa gjysma e frankos prej 5.5 m."

Also while you're at it, can you suggest a better translation of "shkarkues" than "discharger"?

Francis turbine
Explanation:
Only if we are talking about 'dam building"


There are different kind of turbines in Hydro-power like Francis turbine, Kaplan, Pelton, etc. turbines. People that work in this field usually refer to them just with the specific name and in our case it would be Francis (franko).

I really hope that it helps.
