Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
Swedish term or phrase: avluft / frånluft
I was under the impression that both of these terms meant the same thing - exhaust or extract air, but now I have a text in which there is a clear difference between them, so any ideas you may have on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the context: "Differensen mellan avluftstemperaturen och frånluftstemperaturen är större än 3°C"

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Explanation:
In "Svensk-engelsk byggordbok" (TNC) the term avluft is translated as exhaust air (from Plan-och byggtermer, 1994) and frånluft is translated extract air (from Arbetsmiljöordlista, 1983).
