Italian term

preautoclave

Italian to English Other Construction / Civil Engineering Heating installations
I'm having trouble with the term "preautoclave", found in a catalogue of boilers, storage tanks and similar. The full context is: "Preautoclavi a cuscino d’aria con la duplice funzione di volano anti colpo d’ariete e di serbatoio di riserva idrica". I've tried googling the literal "pre-autoclave" (with or without hyphen), but the few English finds are in the medical/sterilising field, making me suspect the term is translated differently in "termotecnica". Thanks for your help, Sarah.

pre-autoclave

apparently autoclave is the same word in English and there are pre and post autoclaves, I'm told on good authority, little matter whether you are talking about surgical devices, cooking equipment or timber treatment
