L'auteur du Manuel du conditionnement d'air précise que le terme «sas (d'air)» n'est pas tout à fait juste lorsqu'il se rapporte aux installations de conditionnement d'air et qu'on doit lui préférer «antichambre» ou même «vestibule». Nous ne savons pas, cependant, si son avis est partagé par d'autres. 4, record 1, French, - sas
