Description

Procédé de traitement fongicide et/ou insecticide d'un élément contenu dans une enceinte et dispositif pour se mise en ouvre  Method for the fungicidal and / or insecticidal treatment of an element contained in an enclosure and device for implementing it
5 La présente invention a pour objet un procédé de traitement fongicide et/ou insecticide d'au moins un élément contenu dans au moins une enceinte dans lequel on isole hermétiquement ladite enceinte et on la soumet A un traitement thermique, au moyen d'un flux d'air, chauffé par des moyens de chauffage de manière telle que le cour dudit élément est porté à une température comprise entre au moins 50°C et 55°C pendant au moins lh à 16h. L'invention concerne par ailleurs un dispositif pour la mise en œuvre d'un tel dispositif. The subject of the present invention is a process for the fungicidal and / or insecticidal treatment of at least one element contained in at least one enclosure in which said enclosure is hermetically isolated and subjected to heat treatment by means of a flow. air, heated by heating means such that the court of said element is brought to a temperature between at least 50 ° C and 55 ° C for at least 1h to 16h. The invention also relates to a device for implementing such a device.
La présente invention concerne plus spécifiquement le domaine du bâtiment et est destinée au traitement curatif, et le cas échéant préventif, de bâtiments ou de parties de bâtiments risquant des dégâts dus à la présence de champignons, tels qu'en particulier la mérule, ou d'insectes dans le bois d'ouvré et/ou les maçonneries.  The present invention relates more specifically to the field of the building and is intended for the curative treatment, and if necessary preventive, buildings or parts of buildings risking damage due to the presence of fungi, such as in particular the merule, or d insects in the lumber and / or masonry.
De manière classique, les techniques employées à cet effet prévoient de soumettre les zones infestées à un flux d'air chauffé à une température permettant la destruction des organismes vivants présents, conformément à la norme FD CEN/TR 15003. En ce qui concerne le traitement curatif contre la mérule, cette dernière préconise ainsi d'appliquer aux éléments de construction concernés un flux d'air chaud leur permettant d'atteindre au cœur une température de 50"C pendant au moins 16h.  Typically, the techniques employed for this purpose include subjecting the infested areas to a flow of air heated to a temperature permitting the destruction of living organisms present, in accordance with the FD CEN / TR 15003 standard. it is a cure against the merule, which recommends that the building elements concerned be given a flow of hot air allowing them to reach a temperature of 50 ° C for at least 16 hours.
En pratique cependant, il a pu être observé que les techniques mises en oeuvre actuellement par les entreprises spécialisées ne donnent pas toujours satisfaction. Ainsi, dans certains cas, des difficultés pour atteindre et maintenir les températures préconisées ont été observées, ce qui interdit notamment le traitement des maçonneries enterrées ou situées à moins de 1,20m du sol et ne permet pas toujours de garantir 1' éradication des spores des éventuels champignons détectés. De plus, les dispositifs employés sont complexes, invasifs, particulièrement énergivores et impliquent généralement des frais de mise en oeuvre très importants. Par ailleurs, dans certains cas, leur mise en oeuvre peut conduire à une dispersion dans la nature de spores de mérule et donc à une propagation dans l'environnement pouvant conduire à une éventuelle contamination de parties saines d'un bâtiment ou de bâtiments avoisinants. Egalement, des problèmes, tels que l'écroulement de plafonds suite à des détachements de plâtre de son support, liés à une évolution non contrôlée de l'humidité relative de l'air dans les zones traitées ont été rapportés. In practice, however, it has been observed that the techniques currently used by specialized firms do not always give satisfaction. Thus, in some cases, difficulties in achieving and maintaining the recommended temperatures have been observed, which in particular prohibits the treatment of masonry buried or located less than 1.20 m from the ground and does not always guarantee the eradication of spores. any fungi detected. In addition, the devices used are complex, invasive, particularly energy intensive and generally involve very high implementation costs. Moreover, in some cases, their implementation can lead to a dispersion in the nature of spores of merule and therefore to a spread in the environment may lead to possible contamination of healthy parts of a building or neighboring buildings. Also, problems such as the collapse of ceilings following detachment of plaster from its support, related to an uncontrolled evolution of the relative humidity of the air in the treated areas have been reported.

Conformément à l'invention, ce procédé est mis en ouvre au travers d'un dispositif qui est composé, dans la variante de réalisation illustrée, d'un ventilateur 2 du type centrifuge, permettant de créer un flux d'air circulant dans le sens indiqué par les flèches F sur les figures, À travers un chauffage 3 dont il est solidaire, vers l'enceinte 1 via une gaine d'insufflation 9, pour revenir, après avoir traversé l'enceinte 1, vers le chauffage 3 via une gaine d'extraction 4 et le ventilateur 2.  According to the invention, this method is implemented through a device which is composed, in the variant embodiment illustrated, of a fan 2 of the centrifugal type, making it possible to create a flow of air flowing in the direction indicated by the arrows F in the figures, through a heater 3 which it is integral, to the chamber 1 via a blowing tube 9, to return, after passing through the chamber 1, to the heating 3 via a sheath extraction 4 and the fan 2.
Ce dernier est préférentiellement du type permettant un débit compris entre 10000m3/h et 36000m3/h, à moyenne ou forte pression. De préférence, il est à vitesse variable, ce qui permet de réguler le débit d'air d'aspiration ou d'insufflation ainsi que la pression exercée au sein de l'enceinte 1.  The latter is preferably of the type allowing a flow rate between 10000m3 / h and 36000m3 / h, medium or high pressure. Preferably, it is variable speed, which allows to regulate the suction air flow or insufflation and the pressure exerted within the chamber 1.

Ils sont alors raccordés à la cuva 16 contenant, à la place de l'eau, un produit biocide qui peut être défini par exemple par un fongicide, un insecticide ou un algicide, ou tout produit équivalent. Dans le même objectif, l'enceinte 1 peut être équipée d'une pluralité de nébuliseurs (non illustrés) fonctionnant soit en utilisant du C02 ou de l'air liquide en bouteille haute pression. Selon une alternative, le produit biocide pourrait également être injecté sous pression par le biais d'un injecteur, tel qu'un brumisateur, ou par un atomiseur tel qu'un nébuliseur, additionnel placé en aval du ventilateur 2. It should be noted that, where appropriate, the atomizers 13 may be used to inject a biocidal product inside the chamber 1, with a view to carrying out fungicidal and / or insecticidal and / or more generally biocidal treatment therein. They are then connected to cuva 16 containing, in place of water, a biocidal product which may be defined for example by a fungicide, an insecticide or an algicide, or any equivalent product. For the same purpose, the enclosure 1 may be equipped with a plurality of nebulizers (not shown) operating either using CO 2 or liquid air in a high-pressure bottle.

En fonction des besoins, l'ordinateur est ainsi prévu apte a piloter le procédé selon l'invention tout au long de sa mise en œuvre. Plus précisément l'ordinateur est programmé pour contrôler notamment:  These computer means integrate the Keylwerth diagram allowing them to control the regulation of the temperature and the relative humidity of the air as a function of the humidity levels measured in the chamber 1 or in the element to be treated. Depending on the needs, the computer is thus provided capable of controlling the method according to the invention throughout its implementation. More precisely, the computer is programmed to control in particular:
- le débit du ventilateur 2 au travers d'une variation de sa vitesse de rotation,  the flow rate of the fan 2 through a variation of its rotation speed,
- la puissance de chauffage en contrôlant le thermostat déporté ainsi que les sondes thermostatiques internes que comporte le chauffage 2, - les registres 6, 7, lia, 11b, 12, 18 (en extraction et en insufflation) the heating power by controlling the remote thermostat as well as the internal thermostatic probes contained in the heater 2, the registers 6, 7, 11a, 11b, 12, 18 (in extraction and insufflation)

La mise en œuvre du procédé selon l'invention suppose une préparation de l'enceinte 1 préalable au cours de laquelle elle est rendue hermétique à l'air.  The implementation of the method according to the invention supposes a preparation of the preliminary chamber 1 during which it is made airtight.
Lorsque l'enceinte 1 est définie par une partie d'un bâtiment, il est prévu à cet effet de recouvrir les façades de ce dernier d'un sas thermique placé au minimum à 0,50m des murs, et réalisé par un double contre lattage d'un film plastique double, créant ainsi une barrière thermiquement isolante grâce aux trois lames d'air piégées entre le film plastique double et entre le sas hermétique et le milieu extérieur.  When the enclosure 1 is defined by a part of a building, it is intended for this purpose to cover the facades of the latter with a thermal lock placed at least 0.50m from the walls, and made by a double against lathing a double plastic film, creating a thermally insulating barrier thanks to the three air blades trapped between the double plastic film and between the hermetic lock and the external environment.
De préférence, le sas thermique est apposé contre les façades indépendamment de tout forage invasif. Par ailleurs, les éventuels ouvrants extérieurs sont isolés thermiquement et hermétiquement par un cadre réalisé en polystyrène extrudé sur lequel un film polyane est apposé. L'isolation entre le cadre isolant et la maçonnerie est réalisée au moyen de laine de verre ou d'un matériau isolant équivalent permettant d'épouser les défauts de régularité des maçonneries.  Preferably, the thermal lock is affixed against the facades independently of any invasive drilling. Furthermore, any external openings are thermally insulated and hermetically sealed by a frame made of extruded polystyrene on which a polyane film is affixed. The insulation between the insulating frame and the masonry is made by means of glass wool or an equivalent insulating material to match the irregularities of the masonry.
Lorsque les ouvrants sont fabriquée en matériau plastique, un cadre est apposé à l'extérieur et à l'intérieur de façon à protéger thermiquement l'ouvrant potentiellement sensible à des températures élevées.  When the doors are made of plastic material, a frame is affixed to the outside and inside so as to thermally protect the potentially sensitive opening at high temperatures.
Une isolation de la toiture est également réalisée de manière appropriée, par exemple par un double contre lattage d'un film plastique double tel que celui employé pour réaliser l'isolation des façades. Insulation of the roof is also suitably made, for example by a double batting against a film double plastic such as the one used to realize the insulation of the facades.
De même, l'enceinte 1 est séparée du reste du bâtiment par le recours à des cloisons isolantes du même type que celles employées pour les ouvrants extérieurs.  Similarly, the enclosure 1 is separated from the rest of the building by the use of insulating partitions of the same type as those used for external openings.
Lors de la mise en œuvre à proprement parler du procédé selon l'invention, l'enceinte 1 est équipée des gaines d'insufflation 9 et d'extraction 4. Il est veillé à ce que les débits d'air d'extraction et d'insufflation soient en équilibre de sorte que l'enceinte 1 ne soit ni en surpression, ni en sous pression par rapport au milieu extérieur pendant toute la durée du traitement.  During the actual implementation of the process according to the invention, the enclosure 1 is equipped with the insufflation and extraction ducts 9. It is ensured that the extraction air flow rates and the insufflation are in equilibrium so that the chamber 1 is neither under pressure nor under pressure relative to the external environment for the duration of the treatment.
Un brassage de l'air circulant dans l'enceinte 1 est préférentiellement effectué à l'aide de motoventilateurs fonctionnant en permanence.  A mixing of the air flowing in the chamber 1 is preferably carried out using motor fans operating continuously.
Conformément aux figures, lors du démarrage du traitement à l'air chaud, le flux d'air créé par le ventilateur 2 est chauffé par le chauffage 3 et est introduit dans l'enceinte 1 via la gaine d'insufflation 9. Les registres 6, lia, 11b sont ouverts permettant une circulation du flux d'air en boucle fermée entre l'enceinte 1 et le chauffage 3 à travers le ventilateur 2. L'ensemble des moyens de régulation de l'humidité relative au sein de l'enceinte, à savoir les brumisateurs 13, le condenseur 17, la bouche d'entrée d'air externe 8 sont désactivés ou fermés, aussi longtemps que les capteurs d'humidité relative relèvent des valeurs que les moyens informatiques dont est équipé l'ordinateur du dispositif considèrent conformes au diagramme de Keylwerth ou au contraires sollicités ou ouverts lorsque les valeurs ne sont plus conformes.  According to the figures, during the start of the hot air treatment, the air flow created by the fan 2 is heated by the heater 3 and is introduced into the chamber 1 via the insufflation duct 9. The registers 6 , 11a, 11b are open allowing circulation of the air flow in a closed loop between the enclosure 1 and the heater 3 through the fan 2. The set of means for regulating the relative humidity within the enclosure , namely the foggers 13, the condenser 17, the external air inlet 8 are deactivated or closed, as long as the relative humidity sensors are values that the computer means that is equipped with the device computer consider complying with the Keylwerth diagram or the solicited or open opposites when the values no longer conform.
Dès que la température du flux d'air atteint la valeur souhaitée, un plateau est maintenu pendant une durée prédéterminée suffisante pour détruire les organismes lignivores préalablement identifiés. Comme indiqué ci-dessus, en cours de procédé, l'humidité relative de l'air est régulée par les moyens informatiques soit par la mise en route des brumisateurs 13 (figure 1) et/ou nébuliseurs diffusant de l'eau dans l'atmosphère de l'enceinte 1, soit par l'entrée d'air externe via la bouche 8 dans la gaine d'extraction 4, soit par la mise en route du condenseur 17, soit encore en régulant la température du flux d'air en agissant sur le chauffage 3. As soon as the temperature of the air flow reaches the desired value, a plateau is maintained for a predetermined time sufficient to destroy the previously identified lignivorous organisms. As indicated above, during the process, the relative humidity of the air is regulated by the computer means either by starting the foggers 13 (Figure 1) and / or nebulizers diffusing water into the water. atmosphere of the enclosure 1, either through the external air inlet via the mouth 8 in the extraction duct 4, either by starting the condenser 17, or again by regulating the temperature of the air flow by acting on the heater 3.
En d'autres termes, le dispositif selon l'invention permet une régulation de l'humidité relative de l'air en continu tout au long de la misa en enivre du procédé correspondant.  In other words, the device according to the invention allows regulation of the relative humidity of the air continuously throughout the misa intoxicates of the corresponding process.
Ainsi, au cours de la phase de montée en température, les brumisateurs 13 et/ou nébuliseurs d'eau sont généralement hors fonction et le dispositif veille à ce que les valeurs relevées via les sondes de contrôle d'humidité dans l'air sont conformes au diagramme de Keylwerth.  Thus, during the warm-up phase, the misting machines 13 and / or the water nebulizers are generally off and the device ensures that the values recorded via the humidity control probes in the air comply with to the Keylwerth diagram.
Dans la phase de plateau (rappelons qu' il faut impérativement obtenir 50°C durant 16h pour le mycélium de mérule, 80°c en température ambiante pour les spores de la mérule, 60°c durant 2 heures pour les insectes xylophages, 55°C durant 4 heures pour les termites à titre d'exemple), les brumisateurs 13 et/ou nébuliseurs sont activés ou le condenseur 17 et 1' évaporateur 19 déclenchés .  In the plateau phase (remember that it is imperative to obtain 50 ° C for 16h for the mycelium of merule, 80 ° C at room temperature for the spores of the merule, 60 ° c for 2 hours for xylophagous insects, 55 ° C for 4 hours for termites as an example), the foggers 13 and / or nebulizers are activated or the condenser 17 and 1 'evaporator 19 triggered.
Puis, au cours de la phase descendante de température, le circuit de déshumidification comprenant le condenseur 17 et l' évaporateur 19 peut prendre le relais sur les brumisateurs d'eau 13 et/ou les éventuels nébuliseurs d'eau (fig. 2). Le condenseur 17, 1' évaporateur 19 et la pompe de circulation d'eau de refroidissement sont alors mis en fonction de façon à ce que le condenseur 17 soit toujours à une température inférieure à celle du point de rosée de l'air contenue dans l'enceinte 1.  Then, during the descending temperature phase, the dehumidification circuit comprising the condenser 17 and the evaporator 19 can take over the water misters 13 and / or the possible water nebulizers (FIG 2). The condenser 17, the evaporator 19 and the cooling water circulation pump are then operated so that the condenser 17 is always at a temperature below that of the dew point of the air contained in the condenser. enclosure 1.
Lorsque l'évaporateur 19 ne suffit plus à obtenir une température inférieure au point de rosée, la pompe à chaleur air/eau 20 est déclenchée et assure la déshumidification.  When the evaporator 19 is no longer sufficient to obtain a temperature below the dew point, the air / water heat pump 20 is triggered and ensures the dehumidification.
Grâce à une telle caractéristique, les bois d'oeuvre sont ainsi préservés de toute déformation ou fissuration intempestive due aux fortes chaleurs auxquelles ils sont soumis dans les traitements curatifs.  Thanks to such a characteristic, the timber is thus preserved from any deformation or inadvertent cracking due to the high temperatures to which they are subjected in the curative treatments.
Egalement, en régulant l'humidité relative de l'air, tout éventuel phénomène de rétraction de bois pouvant notamment provoquer, dans les plafonds sur lattis bois, le décrochement du plâtre du lattis en bols est totalement évité. Les staffs sur bois ainsi que les parquets sont également préservés pendant la mise en ouvre du procédé selon l'invention. Also, by regulating the relative humidity of the air, any possible wood shrinkage phenomenon may in particular cause, in ceilings on wood lath, the recess of the Plaster of lattice in bowls is totally avoided. The staffs on wood as well as the floors are also preserved during the implementation of the method according to the invention.
De surcroît, le procédé prévoit que l'humidité relative de l'air est régulée de manière à ne jamais dépasser 95%, ce qui permet d'éviter un gonflage des éventuels plâtres qui sont ainsi préservés pendant la mise en ouvre du procédé selon l'invention.  In addition, the method provides that the relative humidity of the air is regulated so as to never exceed 95%, which makes it possible to avoid any inflation of the plasters which are thus preserved during the implementation of the process according to the invention. 'invention.
Afin de compléter le traitement par air chaud conforme au présent procédé, qui n'a qu'une vocation curative, par un traitement préventif, l'invention prévoit qu'une étape de traitement chimique peut être effectuée.  In order to complete the hot air treatment according to the present method, which has only a curative purpose, by a preventive treatment, the invention provides that a chemical treatment step can be carried out.
Ainsi, une fois le processus de chauffe terminé, le dispositif selon l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre pour injecter dans l'enceinte 1, par le biais des brumisateurs 13 ou de nébuliseurs des produits biocides, insecticides, fongicides, ou autres .  Thus, once the heating process is complete, the device according to the invention can be used to inject into the chamber 1, through the foggers 13 or nebulizers biocidal products, insecticides, fungicides, or others.
Les matériaux contenus dans l'enceinte 1 ayant été rendus anhydres par la chaleur subie vont alors absorber très fortement le produit injecté dont l'action sera alors renforcée tout en évitant pour l'opérateur les risques liés à des projections incontrôlées de produit chimique toxique.  The materials contained in the enclosure 1 having been rendered anhydrous by the heat undergone will then very strongly absorb the injected product, the action of which will then be reinforced while avoiding for the operator the risks associated with uncontrolled sprays of toxic chemical.
En effet, lors de la mise en ouvre du traitement chimique, effectué après extinction du chauffage 2, l'invention prévoit, selon une variante, que le registre 6 de la gaine d'extraction 4 est fermé, tandis que le registre 7 de la bouche 8 d'entrée d'air externe est ouvert.  Indeed, during the implementation of the chemical treatment, performed after switching off the heater 2, the invention provides, in a variant, that the register 6 of the extraction duct 4 is closed, while the register 7 of the 8 mouth of external air inlet is open.
L'air externe peut alors passer au travers du ventilateur 2 et arrive par le biais de la gaine d'insufflation 9 à forte ou moyenne pression dans l'enceinte 1 dans laquelle les brumisateurs 13 sont mis en fonction pour injecter des produits de traitement chimique. La pression engendrée par le ventilateur 2 dans l'enceinte 1 est telle que les micro-gouttelettes en suspension dans l'air sont alors poussées contre l'ensemble des matériaux ou éléments contenus dans l'enceinte 1. Le phénomène permet une dissémination dans les moindres recoins de l'enceinte 1, l'air chargé de produit chimique se disséminant partout. De manière optionnelle, le procédé selon l'invention peut encore comporter une étape d'insufflation de C02 venant compléter le traitement par la chaleur et mise en œuvre d'une manière telle qu'elle ne comporte pas de risque pour l'utilisateur. The external air can then pass through the fan 2 and arrives via the blowing duct 9 at high or medium pressure in the chamber 1 in which the foggers 13 are turned on to inject chemical treatment products. . The pressure generated by the fan 2 in the chamber 1 is such that the micro-droplets suspended in the air are then pushed against all the materials or elements contained in the chamber 1. The phenomenon allows a dissemination in the every corner of the enclosure 1, the air laden with chemical spreading everywhere. Optionally, the method according to the invention may also comprise a step of insufflation of CO2 to complete the heat treatment and implemented in such a way that it does not involve any risk for the user.
En fait, cette étape peut être effectuée de deux façons différentes. Soit en utilisant le gaz C02 sous pression en tant que gaz nébuliseur en association à la nébulisation d'un biocide, soit en utilisant la pression positive pour insuffler du C02 dans l'enceinte 1. A cet effet, le registre 7 d'ouverture sur l'extérieur de la gaine d'extraction 4 est ouvert, l'air externe qui s'introduit dans cette dernière passe au travers du ventilateur 2, tandis qu'un insufflateur de C02 (non illustré) fait pénétrer le gaz C02 dans le circuit d' insufflation par lequel il est transporté vers l'enceinte 1.  In fact, this step can be done in two different ways. Either using pressurized CO2 gas as a nebulizer gas in combination with the nebulization of a biocide, or by using the positive pressure to inject CO2 into the chamber 1. For this purpose, the opening register 7 on the outside of the extraction duct 4 is open, the external air which is introduced into the latter passes through the fan 2, while a CO2 insufflator (not shown) makes the CO2 gas enter the circuit insufflation by which it is transported to the enclosure 1.
Une fois la teneur en C02 obtenue, le procédé prévoit de mettre en œuvre un circuit de détoxification, en ouvrant le registre 12 de la gaine d'insufflation et en fermant le registre lia. Le C02 est alors évacué vers le milieu externe avant toute pénétration dans l'enceinte 1 par un opérateur.  Once the CO 2 content has been obtained, the method provides for the implementation of a detoxification circuit by opening the register 12 of the insufflation sheath and closing the register 11a. The CO 2 is then discharged to the external medium before penetration into the chamber 1 by an operator.
II est À noter que l'insufflation de C02 permet une extinction quasi immédiate par étouffement d'un départ de feu qui pourrait survenir de manière intempestive lors du traitement par chaleur.  It should be noted that the insufflation of C02 allows an almost immediate extinction by smothering a start of fire that could occur inadvertently during the heat treatment.
Le procédé selon l'invention présente de nombreux avantages. En particulier, la circulation du flux d'air en boucle fermée permet d'atteindre, au sein de l'enceinte 1, des températures beaucoup plus élevées qu'au travers des procédés classiques. Ceci permet d'améliorer l'efficacité du traitement et de garantir notamment l'élimination des spores des éventuels champignons dont ceux de la mérule. Par ailleurs, les températures souhaitées sont atteintes beaucoup plus rapidement aussi bien au sein de l'enceinte 1 qu'au cœur de l'élément infesté à traiter, ce qui permet une économie d'énergie tout à fait conséquente et le traitement de volumes importants . Dans la plupart des cas, la mise en œuvre d'un seul dispositif selon l'invention permet d'atteindre les résultats escomptés dans les situations dans lesquelles jusqu'à présent plusieurs chauffages employés classiquement dans les traitements par air chaud étaient nécessaires. The process according to the invention has many advantages. In particular, the circulation of the air flow in a closed loop makes it possible to achieve, within the chamber 1, much higher temperatures than through conventional methods. This makes it possible to improve the effectiveness of the treatment and in particular to guarantee the elimination of the spores of any fungi, including those of the merule. Furthermore, the desired temperatures are reached much faster both within the chamber 1 and the heart of the infested element to be treated, which allows a quite substantial energy saving and the processing of large volumes . In most cases, the implementation of a single device according to the invention makes it possible to achieve the expected results in the situations in which until now, several heaters conventionally used in hot air treatments were necessary.
Par ailleurs, il a été observé que la possibilité d' atteindre des températures de l'ordre de 80°C pendant au moins lOh d'affilée permet de traiter des éléments de maçonneries ou des bois d'oeuvre enterrés, ce qui est très avantageux notamment dans les infestions par la mérule.  Furthermore, it has been observed that the possibility of reaching temperatures of the order of 80 ° C. for at least 10 h in a row makes it possible to treat masonry elements or buried timber, which is very advantageous. especially in infestations by the merule.
Egalement, toute dissémination d'éventuels spores de champignons dans l'environnement proche est exclue, étant donné que le flux d'air circule à travers un circuit hermétiquement fermé et à pression nulle. De plus, les spores en suspension dans le flux d'air traversant l'enceinte 1 sont extraites de cette dernière et sont détruites lors de leur passage à travers le chauffage 3 où régnent des températures proches de 150°C à 200°C.  Also, any dissemination of possible fungus spores in the near environment is excluded, since the flow of air flows through a hermetically closed circuit and at zero pressure. In addition, the spores suspended in the air flow passing through the chamber 1 are extracted from the latter and are destroyed during their passage through the heater 3 where temperatures of around 150 ° C to 200 ° C. prevail.
Le cas échéant, une étape de détoxification de l'enceinte 1 peut être effectuée après l'étape de chauffage afin d'évacuer les éventuelles particules volatiles contenues dans les colles et les solvants de certains matériaux de construction et qui auraient été libérés sous l'effet des températures élevées. Le circuit de détoxification évoqué dans le cadre de l'insufflation de C02 est alors mis en oeuvre à cet effet.  If necessary, a detoxification step of the chamber 1 can be performed after the heating step in order to evacuate any volatile particles contained in the glues and solvents of certain building materials and which would have been released under the effect of high temperatures. The detoxification circuit evoked in the context of the CO 2 insufflation is then used for this purpose.
Par ailleurs, le dispositif selon l'invention est mobile et adaptable à n'importe quel type d'enceinte 1 pouvant être définie par exemple par un bâtiment comportant plusieurs zones à traiter ou encore un caisson ne formant qu'une unique zone à traiter. Grâce au recours à un ventilateur 2 à moyenne ou haute pression, les gaines d'extraction 4 et les gaines d'insufflation 9 peuvent être d'une longueur de plusieurs dizaines de mètres favorisant ainsi une diffusion de la chaleur sur une longue distance. Lorsque plusieurs enceintes 1 sont traitées de façon concomitante, le procédé permet ainsi une répartition de la chaleur de façon à répondre aux exigences liées à la conformation du bâtiment.  Moreover, the device according to the invention is mobile and adaptable to any type of enclosure 1 that can be defined for example by a building with several areas to be treated or a box forming a single area to be treated. Thanks to the use of a medium or high pressure fan 2, the extraction ducts 4 and the insufflation ducts 9 may be of a length of several tens of meters, thus favoring the diffusion of heat over a long distance. When several enclosures 1 are treated concomitantly, the method thus allows a distribution of heat to meet the requirements related to the conformation of the building.
Lorsque les volumes sont très importants, plusieurs chauffages 3 et/ou ventilateurs 2 peuvent être commandés par les mêmes moyens informatiques. L'invention est de plus adaptée à la restauration de meubles ou d'objets d'art, n' importe quel local pouvant être converti en une enceinte 1 unique de traitement. Il suffit d'isoler les ouvrants extérieurs et intérieurs thermiquement et hermétiquement. When the volumes are very large, several heaters 3 and / or fans 2 can be controlled by the same computer means. The invention is further adapted to the restoration of furniture or works of art, any premises that can be converted into a single enclosure 1 treatment. It suffices to insulate the outer and inner openings thermally and hermetically.
Egalement l'invention peut être appliquée à l'assèchement des bois, par exemple de chauffage ou d'oeuvre avant leur utilisation en évitant les fissurations et les déformations pouvant rendre le bois impropre à la vente.  Also the invention can be applied to the drying of wood, for example heating or work before use avoiding cracks and deformations that can make the wood unfit for sale.
Des traitements contre les insectes nuisibles, tels que les punaises de lit par exemple, peuvent être envisagés indépendamment de toute altération des bois.  Treatments against harmful insects, such as bed bugs for example, can be considered regardless of any alteration of the wood.
