Portuguese term or phrase: antecâmara em bolha
I am translating a report on an inspection of a pharmaceuticals company. The text talks about the checks on the facilities, and says:

Verificado ainda que a empresa apresentava condições de proteção das salas de pesagem, por uso de antecâmara em bolha, assim como para a área de amostragem.

I am unable to find a translation of antecâmara em bolha. It is in the section discussing the HVAC system/AHUs (Air Handling Units) so I assume it is part of these. There is no further information and it does not appear anywhere else in the text.

The sole reference on Google is this, but I am still not sure what to call it in English:
