CONT

Les exigences au niveau de l'éclairement ne cessent de croître. Partant et afin de réduire l'augmentation de charge frigorifique qui en résulte, on utilise des luminaires à reprise d'air, c'est-à-dire que l'air ambiant est repris par l'intermédiaire de ces luminaires. La chaleur émise par convection par le luminaire et une partie de l'énergie émise par rayonnement sont donc évacuées par l'air repris.

Record 4 2013-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
CONT

The primary function of an air handling system for any type of clean room is to control the level of airborne contaminant particles by constantly filtering and recirculating the air. The arrangement of a system depends on whether it is to be a conventional clean room, unidirectional vertical or horizontal flow clean room. In the basic form, however, it consists of a fan, ducting for inlet and exhaust air and an air filtration system.

CONT

Because the façades are not airtight, building occupants often block up the fresh-air ducts, thereby interfering with the air circulation system.

  • Air Conditioning and Heating
OBS

Built-up air conditioning units must house the "mixing box" , air filters, heating and cooling coils, and for medium- or high-pressure design, the fan or fans. Since most built-up units are for large air systems -which cannot be accommodated by factory-built units- the physical size of these built-up units make their casing construction a very substantial structural problem.
