Air purification and dehumidification


Explanation:
Not to be confused with "Air Conditioning". It refers to the treatment of air by the use of filters and possibly dehumidification

This could also include humidifying the air (in dry hot or cold climates):

disagree  writeaway: The English term 'air conditioning' is climatisation in French. The term asked here is Conditionnement d'air' and asker also wants to know the difference between the two. (see question, as Kim already pointed out to you).

neutral  philgoddard: To be fair, although you didn't read the question properly, "conditionnement d'air" is widely used to mean "air conditioning" in the sense of temperature and humidity control. Wikipedia refers to "chauffage, ventilation et conditionnement de l'air".

Air conditioning and air quality systems.


Explanation:
Hello

You ask about the difference between two terms but only put one in the box

Anyway, the 'climatisation' is Air conditioning as you see in hot countries in houses and flats and cars. For me, that includes dehumidification
The 'conditionnement' could be a purification system as someone else said, or any other type of system concerning the quality of the air

I haven't used 'purification' as it 'quality' would also include such systems as ionization, particle extraction, UV light to kill germs etc and I've gone therefore for a broader term

To resume, for 'climatisation' , think 'weather' and for conditionnement , think 'hospital, laboratory or industry'

I meant to give this a higher certainty of 4 or 5
