Abstract

L'invention concerne une unité de ventilation (130) comprenant un ventilateur d'alimentation en air, un tuyau de ventilation (132), un orifice d'aspiration (SP), un orifice de soufflage (BP), un élément d'adsorption et une unité de commande. L'élément d'adsorption est disposé dans un trajet de ventilation (VP) s'étendant de l'orifice d'aspiration (SP) à l'orifice de soufflage (BP) à travers le ventilateur d'air d'alimentation. L'unité de commande effectue une opération d'alimentation en air et une opération d'échappement d'air. L'opération d'alimentation en air consiste à entraîner le ventilateur d'alimentation en air pour fournir de l'air extérieur à un espace intérieur (ID) à travers le tuyau de ventilation (132) par l'intermédiaire du trajet de ventilation (VP). L'opération d'échappement d'air consiste à entraîner le ventilateur d'air d'alimentation dans la même direction de rotation que l'opération d'alimentation en air pour évacuer l'air intérieur vers un espace extérieur (OD) à travers le tuyau de ventilation (132) sans traverser l'élément d'adsorption.
