Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering | | Chinese term or phrase: 模块机 | Hello everybody,
I'm translating a list of equipment and materials for which sampling is required in order to obtain the manufacturing license for refrigerating systems. This is an excerpt from the text:
每个产品品种至少准备1台样品待抽检。制冷压缩机、换热器等需要做 清洁度检验的产品抽2台样品；制冷用阀门抽3台样品；夹芯板抽4块尺寸为2400mmX250mmX 100mm 的样品。
This part is clear, but the final sentence includes a word I don't know (模块机):
如有模块机应加抽1套。
Does anybody know how to translate 模块机 in English? I checked on google, but I could only find "module machine" (on Chinese websites only) o "modular machine" (which seems to be a very general term). I think that this could be a machine for wood manufacturing (the previous sentence is about 夹芯板), can you help me?
Thanks in advance! |

| | modular chiller | Explanation:
Caveat: I don’t work in this field; this is just a result of a google search
- Searching for 模块机 turns up http://www.5-hotel.hk/bbs/ShowPost.asp?PostID=1456 as one of the results, which mentions that 模块机 is an invention of a certain Australia-based 捷丰集团 in 1985
- Search for 捷丰集团 turns up http://www.superlink-china.com/profile.asp which seems to be the official website of the company in question
- The English version of the page uses “modular chiller” where 模块机 is mentioned in the Chinese version
Checks:
- Searching for “modular chiller” seems to turn up a reasonable number of English pages
- Searching for “"modular chiller" 1985 site:au” turns up http://www.investsmart.com.au/company_profile/summary/defaul... which suggests that the company is known as DunnAir in Australia
- Searching for “dunnair site:au” turns up http://www.dunnair.com.au/ which states that they invented the “modular chiller” in 1985
