English term or phrase: nozzle beam
Dans un texte que je corrige, la traductrice a mis "buse à faisceau". N'est-ce pas plutôt faisceau à buses ? La phrase suivante le confirmerait : "The nozzle beam consists of two rows with 14 pcs. nozzles."
On parle d'un condenseur à air et je trouve sur internet l'expression "faisceau tubulaire", pourrait-il s'agir de cela ?
Merci d'avance aux techniciens (dont je ne suis pas !)

I am convinced that 'beam' here has the sense of 'poutre' etc., and can be likened to 'boom' (often found in "spray" contexts) — and one can readily imagine that a hollow 'beam' with nozzles mounted on it might be used to spray liquid or, as here, air.
Of course, as ever, more context would be incredibly useful to know what sort of plant this is actually being used on, and what its function is?

OK, so it sounds like it might be something for e.g. aeration? Certainly not inconsistent with my suggestion then. Perhaps 'beam' because it may have to be quite sturdy! More than just a sort of pipe...

disagree  Tony M: that would be the wrong sense of 'beam' here.
