Italian term

gorgogliatore a monte e a valle

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering strumentazione usata in test d'efficacia antimicrobica
Il testo che sto trattando parla di antimicrobial treatments su filtri antimicrobici. Tra la strumentazione usata ci sono:

"2 gorgogliatori a monte e a valle del portafiltro"

Le ricerche effettuate mi hanno portato a Bubbler o Scrubber, ma non riesco capire se possono essere utilizzati in riferimento ad un filter holder.

Inoltre, come tradurre "a monte e a valle"?

Grazie in anticipo, buona Epifania!

No, no picture. And this term only occurs once almost at the end of the text, and it is included in a list of tools used to carry out such test.
Marco Solinas Jan 6, 2014:
To: Asker Just to make sure, do you have a drawing of the apparatus? Or does the text indicate whether some gas is injected through the "gorgogliatori?"

Sparger is standard terminology to indicate a device that introduces a gas into a liquid in finely divided form. Here is an example from the literature of a sparger used to sparge ozone in water:

This is a very common practice in antimicrobial treatment.
Note from asker:
Thank you so much!
