English term

primary heat source dispersion

English to Italian Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation Cogeneration, District heating
Taken from an article on district heating, non-mother tongue author (confuses an inkblot with a patchwork):
" The primary heat source dispersion of a modern, large district heating system has a patchwork look (figure 5).
The lowest part of the figure 5 includes the highest prioritized production which is normally the household waste (or unclassified waste) incineration, as this kind of waste has to be incinerated immediately"
Figure 5, thanks to the immense genius of my client, who took a B/W photocopy and scanned it in a size suitable for an inhabitant of Lilliput, is unintelligible.

dispersione della fonte/sorgente primaria di calore

In ambito energetico molto spesso le traduzioni quasi "uno-a-uno" sono le più pregnanti: fonte primaria di calore intesa come fonte primaria di energia (calore = energia in transito), da distinguersi da quelle secondarie per il fatto che esse sono il prodotto di una trasformazione di energie primarie.

English term (edited): primary heat source dispersion.

dispersione di calore dalla fonte principale

I am taking this to read as "primary-heat-source dispersion".

or, on second thought, it could also be read as "primary heat-source dispersion" = la dissipazione/dispersione primaria dalla [della] fonte di calore.

Hopefully this might provide you with some options ....
