CONT

Aseptisation de l'air [...] Lampes germicides. Il s'agit de tubes émettant un puissant rayonnement ultra-violet, disposés parallèlement à l'écoulement d'air pour que les microbes soient soumis assez longtemps à leur effet : il faut [...] que la distance soit courte entre les tubes et leurs bouches de distribution si l'on ne veut pas que l'air risque à nouveau d'être pollué lors de son parcours dans les gaines : ces tubes doivent être placés en aval des filtres très efficaces.
