español term

válvula de conducción

español al inglés Técnico/Ingeniería Mecánica / Ing. mecánica Hydroelectric Project/tender document
Dear colleagues:

Can you help me with the term "válvula de conducción"?

The context is as follows:

19.1. Obligación del CONTRATISTA de realizar las Pruebas de Aceptación

El CONTRATISTA deberá realizar las Pruebas de Aceptación que consisten en:
a. Pruebas Preliminares (pre-commissioning).
b. Pruebas de Puesta en Marcha (commissioning test).
c. Prueba de Confiabilidad.

Las Pruebas de Aceptación deberán ser llevadas a cabo como se describe en el Plan de Trabajos para las
Pruebas de Aceptación aprobado por el xx. El CONTRATISTA deberá ejecutar estas pruebas con el fin
de verificar que la Instalación y los Equipos están en condiciones de operar de acuerdo con los
requerimientos del Contrato.

El equipo y la instrumentación para la realización de las pruebas será suministrado temporalmente por el
CONTRATISTA.

Para el detalle de las pruebas de aceptación de cada sistema, favor referirse a las Especificaciones
Técnicas Particulares correspondientes.

19.2. Programa de Pruebas y Procedimientos de Pruebas

Noventa días (90) antes de finalizar la instalación y el montaje de las principales Instalaciones y Equipos
(Turbina, Válvula de Admisión, **Válvula de Conducción**, Puente Grúa, Generador, Sistema de Control,
Protección y Medición), el CONTRATISTA deberá enviar el Programa de las Pruebas Preliminares y las
Pruebas de Puesta en Marcha al xx con la descripción detallada de las pruebas para revisión y
aprobación.

US English please (my attempt) - parag. 19.2 only:

19.2. Test Program and Test Procedures

Ninety (90) days before finalizing the installation and assembly of the principal Installations and Equipment (Turbine, Inlet Valve, **válvula de conducción **, Overhead Travelling Crane, Generator, Control System, Safety and Measurements), the CONTRACTOR must submit the Program of Preliminary Tests and the Commissioning Tests to the xx with a detailed description of the tests to be reviewed and approved.

I have "conductor valve" but I am not convinced at all that this is the correct term, nor can I find references to substantiate it.

Thank you so much.

Thanks again Erowe Uuf! Finally! I have spent hours trying to find the terms, as there are few reliable references on the net. Thanks to you and your guidance, I think this one can be put to bed. Again, thank you and warm regards. Taña.

conducting valve

This looks to be right for your context. Try googling, there are more references, but there's a problem with entering them below.

Thanks erowe. However, I am still not finding any references for "conductor valve" or "conducting valve" apart from the one reference "Effect Of HVDC Converter Station Faults On Turbine-generator Shaft ... - [ Traducir esta página ]de SO Faried - 2002 - Citado por 12 - Artículos relacionados conducting valve on the turbine-generator shaft torsional torques. For this purpose, a computer program is developed to simulate the interaction between the ... ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel1/59/12806/00589740.pdf", so I am not convinced at all that the term is correct as it relates to hydroelectric plants/turbines. If you have other references, can you post as "reference documents" or use the "discussion box". Thanks, but I still am not 100% sure as there are very, very few reliable references on the net. Again, thanks.
Dear Erowe: You are convincing me. After another search, I found a few other references, although not many to "conducting valve". A few of the references are: 1) www.webfiles.portal.chalmers.se/et/Lic/PaulinderJennyLic.pdf; 2) www.bjgi.in/images/Tender%20Form4.pdf; and 3) "HVDC Power Converters".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you cranesfreak. I appreciate your continued support. Unfortunately, whether right or wrong, the job was due earlier this morning and so it has gone! However, I ended up using "conducting valve" (hydroelectric plants+Francis turbines), so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the term is correct and acceptable to the client. Again, thanks for your help. Un abrazo.

Re: Taña Dalglish, many thanks for yr feedback and comments. It is my pleasure to assist you. Saludos :)
