air suction
Intake through pressure
Air suction is the drawing in of air by reduced pressure, as when a vacuum cleaner pulls air through its intake or when opening a sealed container creates a rush of air inward.
The term appears in technical contexts describing ventilation systems, medical devices, and industrial equipment: The air suction keeps dust from escaping the workspace.
