Tech/Engineering | | German term or phrase: Zwischenbehälter | | ... aus einem Zwischenbehälter in der unteren Zone der Plattform ... |
| | | Buffer tank | Explanation:
In then projects I have taken care of, the Zwischenbehaelter is normally a buffer tank or more general buffer storage. Of course, you can opt for the more literal rendering intermediate (storage) tank, which is in essence a buffer tank.
Good luck! |
