Albanian term

franko

Albanian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering To do with dam building
Full sentence:

"Ky shkarkues eshte parashikuar te shkarkoje gjysmen e prurjes maksimale me lartesi sa gjysma e frankos prej 5.5 m."

Also while you're at it, can you suggest a better translation of "shkarkues" than "discharger"?

Dam building Since you have mentioned, " to do with dam building" ( I just saw it) I think that penstocks would be the other right word used with the meaning "discharge"
Ledja Sep 23, 2011:
"shkarkues" Desha vetëm të konfirmoj që një fjalor gjeologjie që kam unë përmban këta terma të përkthyer:
shkarkim i ujërave të truallit - ground-water discharge
shkarkim sipërfaqësor - surface discharge
shkarkim vadoz - vadose discharge
Mirëpo në rastin tënd, "discharger" nuk është një fjalë e përdorur në hidraulikë, por elektronikë. Nuk është fort e qartë nga fjalia se çfarë mjeti shkarkues është saktësisht, por në rastin e një tubi shkarkimi, "discharge pipe" do ishte me vend.

(P.s. "frankos" nuk ia gjej do fillin :)

Francis turbine

Only if we are talking about 'dam building"


There are different kind of turbines in Hydro-power like Francis turbine, Kaplan, Pelton, etc. turbines. People that work in this field usually refer to them just with the specific name and in our case it would be Francis (franko).

I really hope that it helps.
