Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Solar Thermal Power Plant
Spanish term or phrase: película del fluido
This is for a manual for a solar thermal power plant. The client is Spanish and they want this into UK English. This appears in a section about auxiliary boilers. Under the design specifications for the boilers they put:

Las características de diseño de estas calderas, son las siguientes:
- Que la temperatura de película del fluido más próximo a la pared del tubo sea la menor posible, ya que afecta al autoconsumo del fluido

The problem is I don't understand the boilers very well so it's hard to get a good idea of how they function. There is a type of film in the tube or pipe and the temperature of the film must be kept low because it affects fluid or fuel consumption. It mentions that they run on gas, ("gas" in Spanish) but I'm not sure if this is the fluid they are talking about.

So for película de fluido, I looked up fluid film and it's a brand name but I don't think it can be used in this type of boiler.

Any ideas? Thank you.
