English translation:Make-up water system
Explanation:
Depende del contexto, pero en el contexto de instalaciones industriales refiere al sistema de agua de un central de ciclo combinado o una instalación con caldera (central termal o otra instalación con caldera). También se usa en el contexto de refrigeración y aire acondicionado.

El agua de repuesto es el agua que se añade al proceso para compensar las pérdidas que hay, por ejemplo pérdidas en el vapor y otras fugas. Como las pérdidas en este tipo de instalación son constantes ese sistema también lo es, y supone un consumo elevado de agua que tiene que ser de la misma calidad que el agua principal.

He visto tanto "makeup water" como "make-up water".

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Thomas Walker: I think makeup water is probably right here - but, as Robert & Helena have said in the Discussion above, it's not possible to be sure without more context: industrial process? thermoelectric power plant? nuclear power plant?
