French term

bouilleur

French to English Tech/Engineering Real Estate
"Le bailleur fait détarter régulièrement les bouilleurs individuels. Les frais de détartage sont à la charges du locataire".

However, this follows another clause that says, "Le locataire doit contrôler et entretenir les appareils de chauffage individuels et leur briquetage avant toute mise en service, vérifier le remplissage des installations, entretenir, décraser et graisser les chaudières et les calorifères..."

I had elsewhere translated bouilleur as "boiler" (couldn't see how it could be a distiller), but in the light of chaudière, I'm hard-put. This is Swiss French, does it refer to any specific part of the heating installations?

a "bouilleur de cru" is a distiller in French/France.b Bouilleur used for boiler is clearly a Swiss expression. We don't use that in France.

immersion heater / calorifier

I wonder if this isn't simply the 'ballon d'eau chaude'? It isn't unusual for flats to have separate heating and waetr-heating systems. This might explain why one is the tenant's responsibility, while the other is the landlord's.

'Calorifier' is the more technical term used in the business.

Of course, it might even be the old fashioned kind of 'geyser' or 'gas water heater' (aka these days as 'multi-point water heater') — I have no idea if these ghastly things are even allowed in Switzerland...
Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : Cumulus. Or as some school kid is reputed to have written in an exam "Les nuages les plus chargés de pluie sont les gros c*nn*l*ng*s"./ As it turns out, it seems not be be this at all, but probably a heating system that heats both air and water.

particular kind of boiler?

Especially if the heating system is not of the traditional type, it might be an auxiliary boiler on a solar heating system, say, or a type of heating stove that heats not only room air but also water for radiators.

It's Italian if nothing else :
Chaque usager a dans son appartement un BOUILLEUR SOLAIRE de 120-150 lt, qui débite immédiatement de l'eau chaude. ...
www.costruzionisolari.it/.../Condominial solar thermal inst...

A number of sites refer to a bouilleur where it is the auxiliary boiler in a solar heating system. I guess admitting that you have a chaudière to back up your system deflates the ego. (Henceforth my antiquated oil-fired (previously wood or coal burning) boiler that now backs up my "Dementor", the heat pump, when temperatures get way down there where only armoured bears would go, will be known as le bouilleur).

As< i>poêle bouilleur, it appears to be a stove (pot-belly type, etc. not what you would normally cook on in your kitchen), only one which heats not only air but also water:

However see the CUISINIÈRES CHAUDIÈRES / Cuisinière de chauffage central below.

I believe some (if not all) Agas will do that. So Aga, maybe?

Buderus make "stoves" which they refer to as "Kaminofen" in German. Cf the "citemaison" site above where the glossary gives:
• poêle cheminée : Kaminofen
• poêle bouilleur : wasserführend Kaminofen
• serpentin d’eau chaude (échangeur) : Wasserwärmetauscher
• insert de cheminée : Kamineinsatz
• insert bouilleur : Kamineinsatz warmwasser

heat exchange cylinder with indirect heating coil

Though my trusty DicoBat says that bouilleur is a synonmy for "réchauffeur" and translates it a "feed water heater" or "coil heater", it also has a nice diagram that clearly shows a somewhat complex indirect water heating coil system. The complexity is that the coil is housed in a buffer tank between the boiler and the hot water cylinder.

This site shows a nice diagram of a system that doesn't use a separate cylinder for the indirect coil:

And here is a reference to one that does:

"Closed loop (or indirect) where heating fluid is passed through a heat exchanger in ... with a heat exchange cylinder to heat and store 270 litres of water. ..."

That should, of course, be "temperature".
