Italian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Stufe a pellet
Italian term or phrase: piastra deviafiamma
Il contesto è il seguente:
"In seguito i fumi di scarico vengono deviati, con l’ausilio della piastra deviafiamma, verso lo scambiatore e lungo il condotto di aspirazione fumi"

La piastra deviafiamma sembra abbia la funzione di evitare che il vetro dello sportello si surriscaldi.

Grazie,
