APPARATUS FOR REMOVING PARTICULATE FROM A FILTER

摘要

An apparatus for removing particulate from a filter comprises a blower housing and at least one fluid hose comprising a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end operatively connects to the blower housing. The distal end operatively connects to a nozzle. A filter housing in fluid communication with the nozzle is provided and configured to receive a filter. The apparatus further comprises a particulate containment mechanism configured to receive and store particulate from the filter received by the filter housing. A flow meter is provided and configured to measure flow rate of fluids drawn therethrough, wherein the blower housing causes fluids to be drawn through that at least one fluid hose and remove particulate from the filter received by the filter housing.

1. An apparatus for removing particulate from a filter, comprising:
a blower housing a blower fan providing a flow rate; at least one fluid hose comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the at least one fluid hose is operatively connected to the blower housing; a nozzle operatively connected to the distal end of the at least one fluid hose; a filter housing apart from the blower housing and configured to receive the filter, wherein the filter housing is in fluid communication with the nozzle; a particulate containment mechanism configured directly to the filter housing to receive and store particulate from the filter housing; a blower filter configured within the blower housing providing additional particulate containment; and a flow meter configured to measure the flow rate of fluids drawn through the apparatus; wherein the blower housing causes fluids to be drawn through that at least one fluid hose and remove particulate from the filter positioned in the filter housing.
