Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / solar boilers
Dutch term or phrase: pendelgedrag
Still on the subject of solar boilers.

De naverwarmer vertoont pendelgedrag en heeft een tapdrempel waardoor de naverwarmer aan- en afslaat.

Found a couple of relevant sites, and found anti-hunting time for antipendeltijd. I'm not sure how to phrase pendelgedrag here though. Thought of fluctuates, but am not sure if that works.
