Abstract
A filter assembly having a filter module, a fan module, an electronics module including a control system. The fan module inlet and the filter module outlet are laterally spaced apart with their corresponding surfaces extending side by side. A cover is movable between an engaged position engaging the surfaces of the filter and fan modules and a removed position. The cover defines a plenum providing a fluid communication between the filter module outlet and the fan module inlet in the engaged position and directing the flow along a direction different from a direction of the flow through the fan module inlet and filter module outlet. A sensor is located in the plenum and configured to provide information on the flow through the plenum. The sensor communicates with a power source and with the control system at least when the cover is in the engaged position.
