Within the cell of an Excel document under the heading "Advantages of physico-chemical oil analysis" in transformers and other lubricated machines:

"Connaissance du vieillissement de la charge fuite de réfrigérant".

It's really the "vieillissement de la charge fuite" bit that I'm struggling with.

TIA for any help

English translation:see explanation

Explanation:
I think that if you break the sentence after "charge", you will have
"vieillissement de la charge" on the one hand, and " fuite de refrigérant" on the other, and that will make it all the more understandable.

Thanks, Peter. This seems to me to be the only logical explanation as the punctuation is "a bit dodgy" in other parts of the document.

Thanks also for other contributions.
