Hi,

I would appreciate your help with this term.

Incluyendo los siguientes elementos principales:
Calentador, propiamente dicho.
Dos (2) ventiladores de aire de sellado.
Dos (2) ventiladores de aire de barrido.

Would this be a sweep air fan?

purging air blowers
Explanation:
If it were "purged air" it would mean the air had been purged, whereas the actual situation is that the air is used for purging and so we get "purging air".
Compare with "aire de sellado" - we don't say "sealed air" but rather "sealing air" - air used to create pressure and close a seal.
