Italian term

sistema automatico multiblocco

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Heating/Burner control units
"Sistema automatico multiblocco formato da un dispositivo di controllo assemblato ad un gruppo valvole."

Come tradurre "multiblocco"? Per determinati motivi, non posso utilizzare il corrispondente termine inglese "multibloc". Possibili alternative a cui avevo pensato: "multi-unit", "multi-component", "multi-module", "assembly", ma nessuna di queste mi convince pienamente. Qualche suggerimento? Grazie!

Isabella Berti (asker) Jul 15, 2010:
The system is used on gas burners for heating appliances, but it is not only a shut-off valve, it is a solenoid valve assemby (2 valves joined together) connected to an electronic ignition and flame control unit. So two components joined together.

I stand on that... Ok, Isabella. On what you provided I support my answer.
Vincent Lemma Jul 15, 2010:
Heaters I am taking it that you refer to heaters that run on water, gas, oils....
Isabella Berti (asker) Jul 15, 2010:
It is a combined system made by a burner control unit (ignition and flame monitoring device) coupled to a solenoid valve assemby (2 gas solenoid valves joined together). All components joined together form a "sistema automatico multiblocco".
Mr Murray (X) Jul 15, 2010:
Valvoie.. Are the 'valvole' here 'electric fuses' or 'valves'? If they're 'electric fuses' - I think I know what this is.
Mr Murray (X) Jul 15, 2010:
I know what it is - It's just the English word escapes me at the moment...going to feed the cat didn't help.
Isabella Berti (asker) Jul 15, 2010:
It is actually a system consisting of more components or units. The fact is that I can use neither "multibloc" nor any other variant (multi-bloc, multi-block, etc.). It is for patent reasons... I have to choose a completely different term, but then the original meaning of the Italian term "multiblocco" will be lost...

Peer comment(s):

neutral Mr Murray (X) : a "three-dimensional multi-block systems" is for making computer images of solid objects; I think here 'multi-block' is about an electronic component; so it is difficult for me to agree with this explanation

disagree Colin Ryan (X) : Here the context is electronics. Also, the asker has specified that multi-bloc(k) cannot be used in the answer.
