<p>Various systems and processes for analyzing debris particles from a set of filter elements are disclosed. The process includes introducing a filter element into a particle separator tube. The filter element includes debris, wear, or other particles of different sizes. The particle separator tube includes a number of filter patches, each having a predetermined pore size. The process further includes agitating the particle separator tube using ultrasonic energy for displacing- debris particles from the filter element along a length of the tube. The filter patches impede passage of debris particles of a size larger than their pore size therethrough, thereby separating the debris particles according to their sizes. Various ultrasonic energy sources that are capable of handling multiple particle separator tubes simultaneously are also disclosed. Such ultrasonic energy sources allow multiple particle separator tubes, which can carry one or multiple filter elements, to be processed concurrently.</p> |
