Confinement dynamique. Les enceintes de confinement n'ayant pas [...] une étanchéité absolue, des systèmes de ventilation, comprenant des ventilateurs de soufflage et d'extraction, sont mis en place de façon à créer une cascade de dépressions, la pression étant fixée à une valeur d'autant plus faible que l'enceinte contient des matières de nuisance plus élevée. Cela conduit à regrouper dans une même zone d'un atelier les enceintes présentant des nuisances similaires, à disposer dans une zone centrale les enceintes contenant les appareils du procédé et à créer, entre les différentes zones, une cascade de pressions décroissantes depuis la zone périphérique jusqu'à la zone centrale, la zone périphérique étant elle-même à une pression inférieure à la pression atmosphérique. 1, record 3, French, - confinement%20dynamique
