Dutch term or phrase: demi water
It is a list of tests to be made and values to be checked. Not much consistency between the individual entries:

- de temperatuur van het inkomend demi water na vier uur opwarmen van de transmitter
- de temperatuur van het uitgaand demi water,
- de aanwijzing van de purity meter,
- de aanwing van de drukmeter rechts op de koeleenheid

Any ideas what this "demi" refers to? It certainly is not an overcoat...

Hartelijk bedankt, Gert & Sven. Jammer genoeg kan ik de punten niet verdelen. Aangezien beide antwoorden tezelfder tijd aankwamen, geef ik de puntjes aan Gert, gezien de uitstekende referenties (die me ook goed te pas komen).
