French term
ligne d'arbre(s)
French to English
Other
Energy / Power Generation
The context is coolers for a gas compressor in an oil production installation. The 's' is sometimes there sometimes not. I suspect a typo, especially as it comes from Algeria, so the typist may not be a native French-speaker.
The document deals, in part, with bearings and it seems clear that "arbre" is "shaft".
Googling came up with:
http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/meca/abs/2004/01/MI02033...
which is bi-lingual but still difficult to figurre out from.
Also this, from a UK company, but I was not able to match it to the equivalent part of the site in English.

and this, but no English here:

Examples below from my document:
1.
De préférence, la responsabilité des études de conception des lignes d'arbres sera prise par le CONSTRUCTEUR des compresseurs.
2.
Pour chaque ligne d'arbres, l'étendue de la fourniture est décrite dans le chapitre 3 de la spécification générale xxxxxxxxxxxxx, complétée/amendée par ce qui suit :
après les études de mise en groupe. A ce stade le FOURNISSEUR doit présenter le résultat des études du comportement mécanique de la ligne d'arbre complète (recherche des vitesses critiques, etc..)
3.
L'étude torsionnelle des lignes d'arbres complètes doit être faite par le CONSTRUCTEUR des compresseurs ou au moins approuvée formellement par lui.
4.
Le FOURNISSEUR doit s'assurer de la compatibilité des qualités d'huile requises pour les différents éléments de la ligne d'arbre : compresseur, multiplicateur, turbine.

shaft line
I don't see why the direct translation shouldn't apply:
My Framatome/AFNOR dictionary gives ligne d'arbre as shaft line (pump, motor, coupling and intermediate shafts)

The text was perhaps written in Algeria but, except for the typo with arbre, the French language used here is perfect.

Note from asker:
I got "line shaft" from Le Grand Dictionnaire, but on Googling the entries all seemed to refer to a 19th century systemof power transmission. |
But I have also found a modern reference which appears to fit our context here: https://usmap.cnet.navy.mil/usmapss/static/wps/0300N.jsp |
