GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Dutch term or phrase:keerkast
English translation:baffle box/chamber

Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / heat exchangers
Dutch term or phrase: keerkast
I do not have much context for this, as this is from a report about damage to pipes in a u-bundle of a water cooler & heat exchanger. There is a little table in this document that says:
Romp HII
Keerkasten: 20Mn5
Koelwaterpijpen St.35.8.III
I assume that "Romp" is body but I cannot find anything for "Keerkasten". I have found a translation for "keerschotten" being baffle plates. Could "keerkasten" be the same or similar?

Any help would be much appreciated!

"Baffle chamber
A settling chamber containing a system of baffles, which enables coarse particulate matter (e.g. large particles of fly ash) to be removed from stack gases. This is done by changes of gas flow direction and reduction of its velocity."

  -> a baffle isn't just for collecting dust, it can also be used to "direct the flow of fluids". see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baffle_(heat_transfer)
