  • Publication number: 20070261376
    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is a treatment device fitting in a filter, particularly a particle filter (1) or a combined filter of a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning installation for a vehicle cabin, to prevent the development of microorganisms on the surfaces of such an installation. This device is composed mainly of a permeable container (6) for a volatile treatment agent, and comprises means for attachment of the container (6) to the filter (1) between the folds of the filter structure (3) making up the filter, so that the container (6) can be installed on any filter (1) in an existing installation to prevent the development of microorganisms on the surfaces of such an installation.
