alimentation en air de l'atelier

I'm thinking "connect the air supply from the shop" (atelier)

Reference:

EGR tool / Appareil de nettoyage du système de recyclage des gaz d'échappement

Il s'agit d'un appareil qui injecte dans le circuit du dispositif "EGR" un mélange d'air comprimé et d'agents de purification (détergents) pour nettoyer le système des dépôts de suie, de résidus d'huile moteur brûlé etc.

Le site d'un grand constructeur américain présente un modèle de ce type d'appareils. (cf. référence ci-dessous)

Of course Tony, but the occurrences I have found concerning similar cleaning tools have translated "shop air" by "air comprimé". Have a nice evening !
