A magnetic resonance system has an air suction apparatus configured and arranged so as to suck air exhaled by a patient examined by the MR system. A method for operating the MR system is also provided, with which air exhaled by a patient examined by the MR system is sucked in.

A media design for modular use in an air cleaning or HVAC systems to removes gas phase contaminants. The design allows for a control of gas contaminant removal using variable media length, path length, and contact time to ensure a contained MTZ length and low pressure drop. In one embodiment, the design includes a filter module at an angle to an airflow and an air filter mounted within the filter frame. The filter module may include channels therethrough that are oriented at the optimum angle in relation to the airflow to provide the required dwell time and pressure drop for a given application.

An air filtering system includes a main system and a filtering module. The main system includes a main body having an air inlet, an air flow cover having an air outlet, and a primary filtering core replaceably disposed in the main body, wherein the air flow cover is detachably coupled at the main body to form a basic air filtering mode for filtering air from the air inlet to the air outlet through the primary filtering core. The filtering module is detachably coupled between the main body and the air flow cover to form an advanced air filtering mode, wherein the filtering module includes a secondary filtering core arranged for filtering the air after passing through the primary filtering core and before existing the air outlet.

A portable air purifier may include a case having an accommodation space, a front side and a rear side of which are open; a fan assembly accommodated in the accommodation space and including a blower fan; a fan cover disposed in front of and coupled to the fan assembly in the accommodation space; and a filter module disposed behind the fan assembly in the accommodation space. The case may include a first support surface that protrudes from an inner circumferential surface of the case and disposed behind the fan cover to face the fan cover, and a second support surface that protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the case and disposed in front of at least a portion of the filter module to face the at least a portion of the filter module. The fan cover and the filter module may be coupled in a frontward-rearward direction with the first support surface and the second support surface interposed therebetween and may be fixed to the case.
