Filter clog detection and notification system

摘要

A gas filter clogging detection system for monitoring filter performance and condition based on indicators of the accumulation of dirt and other particles on a filter positioned in a gas conduit, in which a notification system provides alerts and reports when the amount of clogging reaches a pre-determined threshold.

1. A notification system for use with a filter clog detection system, the filter clog detection system being configured to monitor the condition of a filter in a gas conduit operatively attached to a gas blower, the gas blower having power to produce a first gas flow, comprising:
a sensing system for measuring a property within the conduit, wherein a condition of the gas filter affects the value of the measured property; a processor configured to execute instructions for comparing a first value of the measured property when the gas filter is in a first state to a second value of the measured property when the gas filter is in a second state, and a networking module configured to transmit signals to a server, the signals representing information related to a condition of the filter based on comparing first and second values; wherein the networking module is configured to transmit signals automatically at predetermined intervals; and, wherein the sensing system comprises a first sensor and a second sensor, only one of which is connected to a heater, the sensors being configured to maintain a temperature difference between them, and wherein the measured property is a voltage reading for maintaining the temperature difference.
