camera intermedia

Explanation:
si tratta spesso di un corridoio con le porte alle estremità. le porte sono ermetiche e se ne possono aprire solo una per volta. Il sistema è adottato per ambienti altamente filtrati dove la polvere può avere effetti disastrosi. La camera di lavoro viene mantenuta ad una pressione leggermente più alta per essere sicuri che non ci sia immissione di particelle dall'esterno. La stessa esiste anche in quelle strutture sportive che vengono mantenute gonfiate ma senz'altro con meno filtraggi. Camera di espansione è riferita a sistemi di respirazione con bombole. Qui non si espande niente.
