Tech/Engineering - Food & Dairy / Catering Equipment Catalogue
German term or phrase: Berohrung
"Ausführung
Oberseite komplett aus Edelstahl, Werkstoff 1.4301, Berohrung mit 8 mm Kupferrohr, Isolierung aus Polyurethan druckgeschäumt. Unterseite aus verzinktem Stahlblech."

From a catering equipment catalogue (for food counters and the like). Here a contact cooling plate is being referred to. I can't find a translation for "Berohrung" anywhere. Is it just piping? TIA for your help.

Rowan Morrell (asker): 12:38pm Aug 13, 2005: Further Occurrence - Here's a further occurrence I just found: "Innen komplett aus Edelstahl, Werkstoff 1.4301, ***4-seitige Berohrung*** mit 8 mm Kupferrohr, Isolierung aus Polyurethan (FCKW-frei) druckgeschäumt."

Can you have "4-sided piping"? Or does this mean "piping on 4 sides"?

“Piping” is absolutely correct itself, and it was my first choice. However, I did not satisfy by it because it is too general, and “piping made from pipes” sounds not in the best way. Refrigeratory system is more specific and relevant to subject matter, it is placed directly in the mentioned German-Russian dictionary, besides it sounds better and clearly for a target audience
