Tech/Engineering - Agriculture / Cereal dryers

French term or phrase: dièdre

There is an entry in the glossary translating this as "dihedral" - a word I have never heard before. Is it in fact used in this context?

Writ of summons issued by one company on another, claiming that there were problems with the cereal dryer it had purchased.

"XXX (coopérative agricole) a selon marché en date du 17 janvier 2006, commandé auprès de YYY un séchoir de marque LAW type SBC 21 LE GAZ sur charpente et trémie pour un montant de 210.000 € HT.

Ce a été réceptionné le 15 mai 2006 afin d’être mis en service pour la campagne céréalière 2006.

Des modifications ont été apportées au séchoir courant 2008.

Le 27 janvier 2010, XXX a informé la société YYY d’une dégradation très importante, très rapide et anormale des dièdres aciers de la colonne de séchage et même en partie basse dans la zone sèche."

TIA for any help.

26 Mar 1991 – By way of examples of such products, cereals may be mentioned such .... used in a drier of a known type (farm drier with dihedral ducts) and ...
Here I'd reckon "dièdres aciers" means "steel ducting".

"dihedral steelwork" seems a safe bet.

In climbing, it probably appears as "dihedrals" which isn't strictly speaking correct. Here "dièdre" is being used metaphorically to refer to something that looks like one.

Now that I've actually thought about this (as opposed to just the grammar of the word) I'd translate as fissure/crack.

Alpinisme: Passage de rocher constitué de deux plans, généralement sans prises, formant un angle obtus dont le fond est parcouru par une fissure qui permet l'escalade.
