Solar Thermal Power Plant
This is from a manual for a solar thermal power plant. The client is a Spanish company and they want this into UK English. The section reads:
Calderas Auxiliares.
Estas calderas utilizan gas como combustible, y se diseñan para trabajar como calderas de apoyo en paralelo al campo solar, aportando su energía a los generadores de vapor o en serie como calderas “antifreezing.”
I have seen this translated as auxiliary boiler and donkey boiler, both in a maritime context and I'm not sure I can use them here. Also, they have thrown me a curve ball with "caldera de apoyo." Should I use auxiliary boiler for one and donkey boiler for the other? Thanks everyone in advance.

auxiliary boiler
There is no reason why an auxiliary boiler should not operate as a support boiler.
