  • Publication number: 20240133789
    Abstract: The invention relates to devices for the sequential testing of filters comprising couplers for connection to the filter to be tested, a first assembly having an aerosol generator and a first measuring device for determining the aerosol concentration of the air, and a second assembly having a device for sucking in air in connection with a second measuring device for determining the aerosol concentration of the air downstream of the filter. The devices are distinguished, in particular, by a short preparation time and a short postprocessing time during the measurement time of the filter to be tested. For this purpose, the raw gas-side coupler is connected to a non-return valve. Furthermore, the first assembly is connected to the raw gas-side coupler via a first shut-off valve, the second assembly is connected to the clean gas-side coupler via a second shut-off valve and the actuating devices of the shut-off valves are connected to a control device.

  • Publication number: 20240042409
    Abstract: The invention relates to devices for aerosol generation comprising a container holding a liquid, an aerosol generator having a supply container holding the liquid, and an apparatus for conditioning the aerosol of the aerosol generator, said apparatus having a collection container for liquid and an outlet for the aerosol, in a series connection, wherein the aerosol generator is connected to a pressurized gas generator. The invention also relates to uses of such devices. Said devices and uses are characterized in particular by interruption-free operation. For this purpose, the collection container is connected to the aerosol generator via a first non-return valve in the passage direction and via a first jet pump, wherein the opening pressure of the first non-return valve is smaller than the pressure that can be achieved by the first jet pump.
