From a survey report describing a water treatment plant:
"La estructura de regulación de caudal consta de una cámara circular conectada a los dos ramales de la tubería de entrada de agua cruda a la planta. El aura exterior de esta cámara sirve de vertedero de excesos al reservorio."
"Aura" normally has the meaning of aura or gentle breeze. I can't see that either of these fits here (although the latter may possibly fir, but it seems very strange).
Can anyone come up with any suggestions please.
TIA

some kind of overflow channel (or rim)
Just a wild guess - maybe they call it an 'aura' because it's some kind of circular rim or channel that catches any water that overflows from the main tank (like an aura surrounding a person etc.). Could that be possible?

I meant to add - this \'aura\' might possibly surround the tank - like an aura surrounding a person. Does that make any sense?!

Or maybe an overflow \'ring\' rather than a channel???

area/zone
Creo que "aura" se refiere a la zona circundante a la cámara; incluso es posible que se trate de un error de taipeado y la palabra sea "área", pues dice "aura exterior".
