Danish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Air separation plant
Danish term or phrase: fordampningen
To do with air separation units, and the separation of nitrogen and oxygen by the same process.

"Fordampningen indeholder generelt mere let produkt"

"The evaporate/vapour generally contains more volatile product" (as in more of the volatile product than is held by a liquid)
Not sure whether vapour or evaporate, as my references give both. Google lacks a definitive answer.
TIA
