My comment:

Hi Angelika,
I'd only replace "emergency" with "auxiliary - Rupert's solution "damper register" is absolutely the term you are looking for.

Thanks for the confirmation - I am happy to to go with it as I am not the expert here! Although I like the "auxiliary damper register" option, I will go with "emergency damper register" in this case as the document in question specifies several backup options and the device in question is for emergencies, i.e. when the regular devices fail. Many thanks to both of you!

Thank you for your suggestin and the link. I'm not quite convinced , though, as a "damper" appears to control the flow of air whereas a "Heizregister" heats the air. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heizregister http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(architecture)#Automated_zone_dampers I have also found "heater battery" at dict.cc and Linguee. I also looked up "register"; the English term describes an air terminal grille in the context of HVAC systems. Any more thoughts?
