Eingriffsluft

Eingriffsluft is a German technical term used in various engineering disciplines to denote air that is introduced into a system as part of a process or intervention. The exact meaning of the term varies by context, and it is not a standardized label like some more common terms such as Ansaugluft or Zuluft.

In mechanical engineering and energy systems, Eingriffsluft can refer to air that enters an apparatus as part of a controlled operation, such as during start-up, boost, or a specific flow-management action. The concept emphasizes the role of the air in enabling or modifying a process, rather than simply describing unrestricted intake.

In building services and ventilation, the term may be encountered to describe outside air that is deliberately brought into a space as part of the ventilation strategy, though this usage can overlap with established terms like Außenluft or Zuluft.

Because Eingriffsluft is context-dependent, its precise definition should be established within the specific technical documentation or regulatory framework in which it appears. In many cases, clearer alternatives such as Ansaugluft (intake air) or Zuluft (outside air) are preferred when describing air pathways and their functions.
