Disclosed is a system for suctioning braking particles from a friction braking system of a vehicle, the suction system including a negative-pressure source, a suction mouth, a filter, a pneumatic circuit connecting the suction mouth to the negative-pressure source, and a control unit configured to control the negative-pressure source, the suction system also including a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure prevailing in the pneumatic circuit, the control unit controlling the negative-pressure source so that the pressure in the pneumatic circuit reaches or tends to meet a predetermined negative-pressure setpoint, and an associated method.

The present invention provides an apparatus for removing particles using symmetrical gas injection, the apparatus comprising: a casing having an inner space; a gas injection part in which a plurality of gas nozzles are formed on one side of the casing, the plurality of gas nozzles are disposed symmetrically and away from an object, and particles on the surface of the object are removed by means of injecting gas on the object; and a recovery part which has a recovery pipe inserted therein and connected to the other side of the casing and is for recovering, via the recovery pipe, the particles which have been removed from the object. According to the present invention, the gas nozzles inject in symmetrical directions and thus diffusion of particles removed from the surface of the object is prevented, the object is not contaminated, and the particles can accurately be recovered, detected and counted.
