Abstract
An air filter health monitoring system includes a filter spanning an air passage for filtering solids and/or liquids out of an air flow passing through the air passage. An illuminator is positioned on a first side of the filter and directed to illuminate the filter. An illumination sensor is positioned on a second side of the filter. The illuminator and illumination sensor can each be spaced apart from the filter. The filter can be installed in a galley insert and can include a reticulated filter medium folded in a v-shape over a v-shaped grid work.
