PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-performance filter repair system.SOLUTION: A system 10 according to the present invention for removing a substance from a filter 30 including a medium 42 comprises: a flow rate distribution device 18 which can be connected to a gas source 12, is attachably/detachably attached to a first orifice 54 of the filter 30, and contacts one end face of the medium 42 of the filter 30; and a flow acceptance device 24 which can be connected to a vacuum source 14, and is attachably/detachably attached to a second orifice 56 of the filter 30 so as to contact the other end face of the medium 42 of the filter 30 at a state of being located on the opposite side of the flow rate distribution device 18. The flow rate distribution device 18 and the flow acceptance device 24 can move along one end face and the other end face of the medium 42, the flow rate distribution device 18 is constituted so as to selectively supply pressure gas flow to a desired part of the medium 42, and the flow acceptance device 24 is constituted so as to selectively suck and remove the substance with the pressure gas flow from a desired part of the medium 42. 【課題】高性能なフィルタ修理システムを提供する。【解決手段】媒体４２を含む濾過装置３０から物質を除去するための本発明によるシステム１０は、ガス源１２に接続可能であって、濾過装置３０の第１のオリフィス５４に取り外し可能に取り付けられ、濾過装置３０の媒体４２の一端面に当接する流量分配装置１８と、真空源１４に接続可能であって、流量分配装置１８の反対側に位置した状態で濾過装置３０の媒体４２の他端面に当接するように濾過装置３０の第２のオリフィス５６に取り外し可能に取り付けられる流れ受容装置２４とを具える。流量分配装置１８および流れ受容装置２４は媒体４２の一端面および他端面に沿って移動可能であり、流量分配装置１８は媒体４２の所望部位に加圧ガス流を選択的に供給するように構成され、流れ受容装置２４は媒体４２の所望部位から物質を加圧ガス流と共に選択的に吸引して除去するように構成されている。【選択図】図１ａ
