[Chauffage à air chaud.] Gaines de prise d'air neuf (...) Dans le but de renouveler l'air des locaux, on peut reprendre de l'air à l'extérieur soit en partie, soit en totalité. Le raccord à la chaudière se fait à l'aide d'un té. Une des branches apporte l'air neuf, l'autre l'air de reprise. Un registre permet de régler la proportion d'air frais par rapport à l'air de reprise. Ce système provoque une dépense supplémentaire en combustible. En effet, il faut élever la température de l'air venant de l'extérieur à la température de soufflage. 4, record 1, French, - gaine%20de%20prise%20d%27air%20neuf

En chauffage, la préférence semble aller au terme "gaine" plutôt qu'au terme "conduit". Cependant l'Ordre des architectes du Québec en déconseille l'emploi dans l'usage canadien. 5, record 1, French, - gaine%20de%20prise%20d%27air%20neuf
