Stand By / Safety Water

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Food & Drink
Hello!

I got stuck in a technical translation that has "Stand by" referring to the safety, clean water that is used in the centrifuge for food dehydration processes. Does it also mean "to hold"?

agua de reserva / de seguridad

I believe the issue is here to find out whether this "stand by" or "safety water" is continuously used in this dehydration process or only when the product to be dehydrated does not contain the minimum required amount of humidity. If this is the case, "agua de reserva/ agua de seguridad" seems an accurate translation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Daniel Delgado : Coincido con la traducción. Entiendo que es agua que se utiliza cuando falta o se corta la alimentación para que la centrífuga no opere en vacío, evitar detenerla, durante el proceso de detención, etc. Dudosa la relación con "to hold", depende del context
