working temperature / normal temperature Explanation: I think either of these would get the message across. They both get lots of hits on Google. The cooling lubricant must maintain a working temperature / normal temperature below 50 degrees C ... The working temperature of the cooling lubricant must not exceed ... HTH Mary experience |

average operating temperature Explanation: Somebody out there is inventing fancy terms again! Your context suggests the above to me. verharren -> remaining in a waiting or stable state. Since cooling oil temperatures rise and fall with load, an average temperature must be maintained, probably through additonal oil coolers. The give-away is "Dauerbetrieb". HTH Ernst |

constant temperature Explanation: I would say this as it puts across the sense of something that persists or remains at a certain level as indicated by the verb "verharren". Also it talks in the previous sentence about the machine heating up until it reaches a stable operating temperature. Come to think of it, "operating temperature" might just fit although you lose the sense of something persisting if you use this. |
