  • Patent number: 10677690
    Abstract: A test probe for filter leakage detection. The test probe (1) has an elongated housing (5) with a longitudinal inlet portion for admitting gas into a first chamber of the housing through an inlet of the inlet portion, and an outlet portion for letting gas out of a second chamber of the housing through an outlet of the outlet portion. Further, the test probe has an intermediate element comprising a throttling portion. The intermediate element is arranged between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, wherein the first and second chambers are fluidly interconnected via the throttling portion, wherein the throttling portion is elongated and extends longitudinally of the housing, wherein the throttling portion is arranged to cause a smaller vacuum upstream of the throttling portion than downstream of the throttling portion when gas is sucked through the test probe.

  • Patent number: 10532307
    Abstract: A filter housing is adapted to be mounted in an air ventilation system and includes: an upstream air entrance opening defined by an air entrance opening frame, a downstream air exit opening defined by an air exit opening frame, a rear wall, a front opening opposite to the rear wall, a cover sealing the front opening, a movable filter holder arranged within the housing and arranged to receive a filter through the front opening, and two clamping mechanisms arranged at opposite first and second walls of the housing. Each clamping device has a release device engaged with the filter holder, and is arranged for releasing the filter from the clamped position to a released position by moving the filter holder.
