Deutsch term

Panscharbeit

Deutsch > Englisch Technik Kraftfahrzeuge/PKW und LKW
Das Verfahren ist anwendbar für alle Schmieröle in Aggregaten mit hoher Panscharbeit, insbesondere für Getriebeöle; Muster- und Serienüberwachungsprüfungen.

The sentence appears in a test method for determining certain oil temperatures during operation. As far as I can tell, Panscharbeit it something that can happen when the oil level is too high, but I have not been able to find an English equivalent.

Discussion

pj-ffm Oct 9, 2012:
I'd agree with Bernd here, an alternative spelling of "Planscharbeit" or churning due to overlubrication (too much oil in the gearbox/crankcase).

"Panschen" usually has to do with adulterating liquids (usually alcoholic drinks) with lower quality ones.

oil churning

Churning work wird kontextbezogen nicht verwendet, außer bei linguee, was mal wieder deren 'Qualität' bestätigt. Churning ist ein ungewollter Energieverlust und wird von daher in der muttersprachlichen Literatur als churning losses or power loss due to oil churning bezeichnet.
Einfach mal oil overfill churning googeln.
Peer comment(s):

agree pj-ffm : I'd simply say "churning" with an appropriately formulated sentence, e.g. "high degree of churning". (That it concerns oil is assumed).
