Summary

The Vatican frescoes are exposed to the Rome urban environment and to heat, moisture and other contaminants arising from visitors. The Chapel is now supplied with 100% outside air, filtered and conditioned to close limits. This is injected at mid-wall height, to induce two vortices, one at low speed across the paintings, and the other down to the visitor area. The plant was donated by Carrier. A.R.T.
