Where? That is a very large document that you reference. Exactly where does this word occur?
The question you ask does not make any sense. If we could see the entire context it would help.

heat diffusion time

Måske. Lyder som et hjemmestrikket ord (det danske, altså).

heat release time

Heat release time, maybe?

This is used about a number of things from combustion to storage heaters...

The phenomenon is strictly heat transfer, which is sometimes desirable, as in a heat exchanger or cooling jacket, and sometimes not.
The ´sive´ element in the word suggests a leak to be minimised.

If you have space for it, a phrase might be best: the time taken for heat transfer / heat release / the heat to leak

The rate of heat transfer over time

Detailed context would help
