Abstract
A system for characterizing a water retention device may include a test pipe including a mount section for holding the water retention device to be tested; an injector to inject, upstream of the mount section, an air flow loaded with at least one of dust and droplets of water; at least one sensor for determining a distribution of sizes of the at least one of the dust and water particles, and a quantity of water retained in the mount section; and a calculator receiving the measured distribution of dust and water particles delivered by the at least one sensor to determine therefrom a dust and water retention level in the water retention device.

A test system for a water retention device, the system comprising:
- a test pipe including a mount section for holding the water retention device to be tested;
- an injector to inject, upstream of the mount section, an air flow loaded with at least one of dust and droplets of water;
- a plurality of sensors for determining a distribution of sizes of the at least one of the dust and water particles, and a quantity of water retained in the mount section;
- and
- a calculator receiving the measured distribution of dust and water delivered by the at least one of the plurality of sensors to determine therefrom a dust and water retention level in the water retention device.
