German term

Arbeitsraum

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
From a patent on a fuel injection valve.
"Kraftstoff wird auf Hochdruck gebracht und dem ARBEITSRAUM zugefuehrt" This Arbeitsraum also contains a spring, a plunger, and various incoming and outgoing lines.
The first thing that comes to mind would be cylinder, but if they wanted that they probably would have written Zylinder!

working chamber

from first link below:

"Working chamber"-The space or compartment under air pressure in which the work is being done.

The author was probably referring to a general term so he wrote Arbeitsraum. An equivalent general term in English is called for I think.
Peer comment(s):

agree Dr. Fred Thomson : That's how Whylidall translates the term.

agree Trudy Peters : This being a patent, I would stick as close as possible to the original. Patents are ambiguously worded on purpose.

It CAN refer to an area where people work. Strangely enough, Ernst suggests it. See above and below.

combustion chamber

If combustion takes place in this space, I woul be inclined to ignore Whylidal's translation and call it combustion chamber rather than working chamber.
"Arbeitsspiel" is called the combustion cycel or the working cycle, for example.
Also, the "Arbeitstakt" is the combustion cycle or working cycle

(Otto engine): [inner] cylinder; (Wankel engine:) working chamber

inner cylinder

I’d stick with (inner) cylinder. A cursory review of four automotive dictionaries and a number of websites (below) leads me to conclude that [inner/upper/lower] cylinder is the correct translation (except perhaps in a Wankel engine), and that _working room/chamber_ is probably literal translation rather than English engineering vernacular.

(Schmitt, FWB der KFZ-Technik: ISBN 3 12 517820 7)
Arbeitsraum, inner cylinder ;
Oberer/unterer~: upper/lower cylinder)

Arbeitsraum: working chamber
(Wyhlidal: KFZtechnisches Wörterbuch, ISBN3 923195 X)

Arbeitskammer : working chamber (in [rotary] Wankel engine)
(Parat: KFZtechnik, ISBN 0 89573 988 7)

NB: Working room, working chamber are NOT indexed in Bosch, Automotive Handbook, and I found no mention of these terms in the rather thorough descriptions under Combustion, Combustion Chamber or Cylinder.
(Bosch: Automotive Handbook, ISBN 0 8376 0333 1)

working space

Precisely because patents are vague on purpose and one needs to reproduce this aspect as closely as possible, I would avoid 'chamber', certainly 'combustion'.

The closest Eng equivalent that does this is the above.
