German to English: Jalousieklappe

Source text - German
Jalousieklappe
Die Jalousieklappen im Außenluft- und Fortluftkanal verhindert bei stehender ***-Anlage einen Lufteinfall und schützen bei tiefen Außentemperaturen die wasserführenden Anlagenteile. Die "Zu"- Stellung ist regelmäßig zu kontrollieren. Das ordnungsgemäße "Auf- bzw. Zufahren" der Klappe ist regelmäßig zu überprüfen. Bei weiteren motorisch betriebenen Klappen im Anlagensystem ist wie vorstehend zu verfahren: Eine geöffnete Klappe kann das Einfrieren und damit das Zerstören des Erhitzers bewirken. Eine geschlossene Klappe im System kann durch Über- bzw. Unterdruck Anlagenteile zerstören.

Shutters
In standing/upright *** systems, the shutters in the outside air and exhaust air channel prevents an air influx and protects the water-bearing system components during low outside temperatures. The “Close” setting must be checked regularly. The proper “Open / Close” function of the shutter has to be checked regularly. In the case of other motorised shutters in the system the same procedure as above should be followed. An open shutter can cause the heater to freeze and be destroyed. A closed shutter can destroy system components due too high or too low pressure.

About me

I am a trilingual South African, fluent in English, German and Afrikaans, with a very good understanding of Dutch too. I have more than 8 years translating experience in some or other form. If you would like to make use of my service and/or experience please do not hesitate to contact me at devinnnived@yahoo.de

I do regular translation, language editing and copywriting work in English and Afrikaans for one of the biggest advertising agencies in South Africa.

I have formal qualifications in languages. I started with English, Afrikaans and Latin at school and continued to complete a BA degree in languages, which included German, French, Hebrew, classical Greek and Setswana. I then completed a degree in Theology. In my free time I write short stories for children and make furniture as a hobby.

As a former diplomat to Germany and Slovakia I lived and worked in Europe for 7 years, where I had the opportunity to improve my German language skills.
