SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRIC ASPIRATOR OF AN AIR INTAKE SYSTEM FOR A WORK VEHICLE

摘要

In one aspect, a system for controlling an air intake system for a work vehicle may generally include a filter assembly having a pre-cleaner configured to separate particulates from air received by the filter assembly. The pre-cleaner may define a pre-cleaner outlet. The system may also include an electric aspirator in fluid communication with the pre-cleaner outlet. The electric aspirator may include a motor configured to rotate a fan so as to create a vacuum for scavenging the particulates separated from the air within the pre-cleaner. In addition, the system may include a controller communicatively coupled to the electric aspirator. The controller may be configured to vary a rotational speed of the motor based on changes in a load-based parameter of the work vehicle.

1. A system for controlling an air intake system for a work vehicle, the system comprising:
a filter assembly including a pre-cleaner configured to separate particulates from air received by the filter assembly, the pre-cleaner defining a pre-cleaner outlet; an electric aspirator in fluid communication with the pre-cleaner outlet, the electric aspirator including a motor configured to rotate a fan so as to create a vacuum for scavenging the particulates separated from the air within the pre-cleaner, and a controller communicatively coupled to the electric aspirator, the controller being configured to vary a rotational speed of the motor based on changes in a load-based parameter of the work vehicle; and a particulate sensor communicatively coupled to the controller, the particulate sensor being configured to detect the presence of particulates contained within the air received by the filter assembly.
