English term

sump

English to French Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime Ship equipment
Boat sensors for high water level, oil, etc, connected to the sump pump and bilge pump.
I plan on using 'pompe de vidange' for 'sump pump'
Lots of 'sump' questions already, I am asking specifically about SHIPS, unsure if 'puisard' applies.

The BG-SP uses two integrated sensors to detect liquid in the ***sump*** while reliably activating the ***sump*** pump.
Proposed translations (French)

Schtroumpf is correct, no context about the boat Indeed, this is product website and brochures aimed at boat owners, they only talk about the various sensors and not the pumps, where they go or what they do. thank you all for your help.
Schtroumpf Feb 12, 2019:
Pompes de cale, puisards, eaux grises... Si votre texte ne traite que des capteurs et pas du bateau sur lequel ils seront montés, je pense que pompe de puisard devrait pouvoir aller ici.
Il est possible d'avoir plusieurs pompes sur un bateau pour sortir l'eau qui s'y accumule : notamment celle pour évacuer les eaux grises (douches, vaisselle...) et une autre pour assécher les cales, où se trouvent des eaux de ruissellement, condensation etc.
A ma connaissance, pas de pompe sur les carters du moteur.

@ Asker: Context? It all depends on WHICH sump it is!

If it is the engine sump, then it is like on a car etc.

However, if it is a sump associated with the bilge, then it is a different kind of sump...

What seems curious is that you have both terms being used together; can you tell from your document why? It seems as if this might be sales literature, in which case perhaps they are talking hyopthetically about a vessel that might have a sump in its bilge, or might not (so just have a bilge alone)?

ok, ce n'est pas un carter d'huile

trouvé le produit : https://www.bluebgi.com/products/bg-spkit/ : pompe de vidange

"sump pump
pompe de vidange

Pompe qu'on installe notamment dans les parties basses des habitations et qui sert à évacuer les surplus d'eau.
Il existe divers types de pompes de vidange, permanentes ou temporaires, la plupart à commande électrique. On les installe souvent dans les sous-sols de maisons situées dans des zones inondables.
La pompe de puisard a exactement les mêmes fonctions que la pompe de vidange, mais elle est installée directement au puisard d'une habitation pour en contrôler les débordements.
pompe de vidange n. f.
pompe d'assèchement n. f.
pompe d'épuisement n. f.

"he BG-SPKit-A (Pump Mount) / BG-SPKit-B (Pipe Mount) are a highly reliable solid-state sump pump switch and sensor, making it the ideal replacement for unreliable mechanical float switches. The BG-SPKit-A / BG-SPKit-B includes a BG-SP (Sump Pump Sensor), an AC PowerSwitch, a pump (BG-SPKit-A) or a pipe (BG-SPKit-B) mounting bracket, and an AC/DC Power Supply. The BG-SP uses two integrated sensors to detect liquid in the sump while reliably activating the sump pump through the AC PowerSwitch. Having no moving parts that can be jammed or damaged, the solid-state BG-SP is built to outlast all the mechanical float switches on the market today. The BG-SP is CE and ISO 8846 Marine Ignition Protection Certified, tested to ABYC-1500 standards. Patented technology. "
