Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Patent | | German term or phrase: Soll-Konzentrat | From a patent for a dialysis machine:
The device has two concentrate containers:
"Beide Konzentratbehälter werden beispielsweise für die Bicarbonatdialyse verwendet, wobei ein Konzentratbehälter das
*Soll-Konzentrat* und der andere Konzentratbehälter das Natriumbicarbonatkonzentrat enthält. Andererseits reicht jedoch auch ein Konzentratsanschluss aus, sofern eine Dialysierflüssigkeit üblicher Zusammensetzung verwendet wird".
I've found reference to "A-concentrate" and "B-concentrate" in English descriptions of sodium bicarbonate dialysis, but I don't know if this is a general term. Presumably the sodium bicarbonate is being mixed with some other type of concentrate - or water? -anybody know what this might be?
TIA! |

| | English translation:Target concentrate/product | Explanation:
I have come across 'soll-' in conjunction with 'ist-' in technical contexts such as this: the 'ist' describes the starting point, the current state/situation and the 'soll' describes the target or desired state/situation. Hence my suggestion that the container will hold the product or the 'target concentrate'.
I am not sure if this is common parlance in your context, but perhaps it will be a starting point for a translation!
