Abstract
Embodiments of the invention generally provide a containment system having integrated bubble tight-dampers. In another embodiment, the containment system includes an integral auto-scan mechanism disposed in the housing of the containment system so that a filter element, disposed in the housing, may be leak tested without accessing the interior of the housing. In yet another embodiment, a method for testing a filter disposed in a containment system includes challenging an upstream side of a filter element disposed in a housing of the containment system with a test aerosol, and automatically moving a probe disposed within the housing to obtain samples for leak testing.
Claims15
A method for providing a test aerosol, comprising:
- opening a damper to allow high-velocity air through an inlet collar of a housing;
- injecting aerosol from an aerosol injection ring into the high-velocity air coming through the inlet collar upstream of the damper;
- and
- testing a filter using the aerosol laden high-velocity air.
