heat exchanger Explanation: Normally, "batteria" = "battery"; however, in the context of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment, it could also be a heat exchanger. In full: "Connect the grounding-wire clamp on the test bench to the pipes of the heat exchanger." (in order to ground the exchanger) Tthe phrase should properly read "...clamp of the test bench," but that sounds odd. The idea to get across here is that the grounding-wire clamp is part of the equipment that is provided with the test bench. If I were writing the procedure, I'd probably say "1) Locate the grounding-wire clamp on the test bench; 2) Connect the clamp to the pipes of the heat -exchanger..."

coil; heat exchanger coil Explanation: Hello I'm really just repeating the answer I gave to your "tubi" qestion. I've worked with a lot of HVAC companies here in Italy, and one of the most recurrent mistranslations they have to deal with is "battery" for "batteria". It's called a "coil". The website is in Italian and English. Although the English is poor, it look like it's been written by a non-native speaker who at least knows the correct technical terms.
