Fahrzeugklimabetrieb

English translation: Automobile HVAC operation

12:00 Jul 8, 2007
German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / for a press release
German term or phrase: Fahrzeugklimabetrieb
The whole sentence is: Die in hohem Maße reproduzierbare und gleichzeitig auch wirtschafliche Simulation sämtlicher Bedingungen für den Fahrzeugklimabetrieb stellen hohe Anforderungen an den Anlagenbau der Prüfstandstechnik.

The topic is: Anforderungen an die Prüftechnik für die Fahrzeugklimatisierung

I think in order to understand Fahrzeugklimabetrieb, Fahrezugklimatisierung should be known as well.

It covers fuel efficient and climate friendly automobiles.

English translation:Automobile HVAC operation
Explanation:
HVAC auf deutsch HLK, I think that they may be talking about in-car heating ventilation & air-conditioning not just the air-conditioning so in the trade one would talk about HVAC systems

operation of automobiles' air conditioning (air conditioners / air conditioning systems)


Explanation:
The sentence leads me to believe that "Betrieb" is being used in its meaning of "operation," as "the simulation of all conditions relevant to automobiles' air conditioning" (or something to that extent) makes a lot more sense to me than thinking that the term means the "air conditioning system business" in this case.

Oops! I meant; " the simulation of all conditions relevant to the operation of automobiles' air conditioning systems"

Richard makes a good point! "automotive air conditioning systems" is a much better option

agree  Richard Benham: It;s not very idiomatic to use possessives of inanimate nouns (or inanimate nouns' possessives--see what I mean?); I would prefer to use the adjective "automotive". Otherwise OK.//Or "vehicular" of course...!

  -> Hi Richard. Great suggestion; I have to admit that I sometimes fall into the trap of using possessives in a less idiomatic way when translating from German!
agree  Paul Cohen

neutral  David Moore (X): Who said this only tests cars?// But seriously: this has to be "vehicle" A/c systems, doesn't it? I've done enough translations of wheel-loaders and other NON-cars with A/c systems...
