Italian term or phrase: piastra di termo compensazione
Dear colleagues,

This term comes up in a document on operational testing for freeze dryers. This particular section discusses the procedure for testing an automatic sterilization cycle. The procedure involves the use of thermocouples.

Posizionare le termocoppie secondo il disegno allegato.
Affiancare per ogni termocoppia un bioindicatore.
- 6 termocoppie posizionate sulle piastre

English translation:thermal conductor shelf
Explanation:
'... heat must be applied to the product to encourage the removal of water in the form of vapor from the frozen product. The heat must be very carefully controlled, as applying more heat than the evaporative cooling in the system can remove warms the product above its eutectic or collapse temperature.Heat can be applied by several means. One method is to apply heat directly through a thermal conductor shelf such as is used in tray drying. '

"A rise in chamber pressure may lower the product temperature...this should be compensated by raising the shelf temperature...'
https://books.google.com.au/books?id=-0gkSrMyyNAC&pg=PA109&l...

There is a reference to 'heating compensation plate' but this may be by a non-native English speaker judging by the bad translation. See under heating plate
