Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial
Hola

este concepto me resulta difícil de entender...

Montaje completo de la instalación, con la tecnología especial de soldadura en tubo de membrana de las paredes de la caldera

Mi intento: Entire assembly of the installation using special welding technology on the boiler's membrane tube walls.

A ver si alguien me puede confirmar si he entendido bien el significado de la frase. Al parecer la unidad es "pared de tubo de membrana"

@ Laura Just so you know, the book in the ref. that you give is a poor translation from Chinese into English. I wouldn't trust it very much if I were you.

as you already have it seems fine.

This could be a very useful ref. for you, it describes the history, design and faults of 'membrane tube wall" -type boilers.

http://www.maintenanceworld.com/anatomy-of-a-boiler-failure-...

"It was not until 1964 that the membrane tube wall design was developed and became the norm in utility boiler practice. During this time period approximately 400 boilers of this design were built in the U.S., and most are still in operation. All of these boilers had similar steam capacity, tube wall construction, vestibules, and refractory/tube wall design. Does the boiler cross-section in Figure 5 look familiar to you?"

Spanish term (edited): tubo de membrana de las paredes de la caldera

membrane boiler tube

Es la forma constructiva más usada en calderas grandes. Se usan tubos de agua con aletas para forrar el interior de las paredes, de forma que dos tubos adyacentes usan la misma aleta. No considero necesario poner wall en el target porque membrane ya engloba ese significado.
Example sentence:

The present invention relates generally to a method for detecting corrosion fatigue cracks in membrane boiler tubes, and more particularly to a method for detecting corrosion fatigue cracks in membrane boiler tubes using EMATS
