Greek term

ελαιόθερμα

Greek to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
ΚΥΑ 11294/93 (ΦΕΚ 264Β') "Όροι λειτουργίας και επιτρεπόμενα όρια εκπομπών αερίων αποβλήτων από βιομηχανικούς λέβητες, ατμογεννήτριες, **ελαιόθερμα** και αερόθερμα που λειτουργούν με καύσιμο μαζούτ, ντήζελ ή αέριο".

By analogy with αερόθερμα, I suppose these could be 'oil convection heaters'. All I know from personal experience is an oil radiator (electric, oil-filled), which I have been using in this cold weather. I suppose this is a kind of oil convection heater.

Yes, it's probably an industrial context. I haven't looked at this particular Joint Ministerial Decision, but these are probably heaters used in factories.
STAMATIOS FASSOULAKIS Jan 4, 2009:
Dylan are these heaters working in a factory? I suspect that these heaters work in factories which the oil is heated by the use of crude oil. Am I right?
Dylan Edwards (asker) Jan 4, 2009:
ΟΚ, 'oil heaters', as the term is usually understood nowadays, probably means heaters in which the oil is heated, though there are still memories of, e.g., Aladdin oil heaters, which is another name for Aladdin oil stoves, in which the oil (paraffin) is actually the fuel, i.e. the paraffin burns in a wick.

Ευχαριστώ, Σταμάτη. Ενδεχομένως ναι, αλλά εξαρτάται από τον τρόπο που θα διατυπώσει ολόκληρη την πρότασή του ο Ντίλαν.
