Abstract: There is described a filter arrangement for a particle detector for detecting particles in an environment. The particle detector can include one or more sensors for analyzing fluid in a detection region to produce sensor output. The filter arrangement includes structure defining flow paths, for conveying fluid from the environment towards the detection region, including a first flow path, which includes a filter, and a second flow path bypassing the filter. There is also provided a mechanism for controlling relative flow rates of fluid through the first flow path and the second flow path and a controller configured to receive the sensor output corresponding to at least two relative flow rates and apply logic thereto to generate an output indicative of a condition of the filter.

Abstract: A method of detecting particles in an air flow is described. The method includes receiving a signal indicative of light intensity scattered from the air flow at a plurality of wavelengths and processing the signal indicative of the intensity of received light at each of the wavelengths and a corresponding wavelength dependent parameter to generate an output signal indicative of at least one characteristic of particles in the air flow. A particle detection system is also described.
