Abstract
An air quality system includes an air precleaner, a filter identification component, and a control module. The air precleaner has a precleaner housing and a filter disposed inside the precleaner housing. The filter identification component is positioned within the precleaner housing at a first position and is mounted on the filter. The control module is positioned within the precleaner housing at a second position and is configured to emit an electrical field and communicate with the filter identification component via the emitted electrical field.
Claims18
An air quality system for a cabin, the air quality system comprising:
- an air precleaner having a precleaner housing and a filter disposed inside the precleaner housing;
- a filter identification component positioned within the precleaner housing at a first position, the filter identification component being mounted on the filter;
- a control module positioned within the precleaner housing at a second position and being configured to:
- emit an electrical field;
- and
- communicate with the filter identification component via the emitted electrical field;
- an advisor module disposed outside of the precleaner housing and configured to communicate with the control module to obtain from the control module both control module data and filter identification component data;
- and
- a dust monitor disposed in the cabin, wherein the advisor module is configured to communicate with the dust monitor to receive a dust measurement.
An air quality system monitoring method for a cabin, the method comprising:
- providing an air precleaner outside a cab operated by an operator, the air precleaner having a precleaner housing and a filter disposed inside the precleaner housing;
- providing a filter identification component positioned within the precleaner housing at a first position, the filter identification component being mounted on the filter;
- providing a control module positioned within the precleaner housing at a second position;
- providing, by the control module, an electrical field emitted within the precleaner housing, the control module communicating with the filter identification component via the emitted electrical field;
- providing an advisor module disposed outside of the precleaner housing, the advisor module being configured to communicate with the control module to obtain from the control module both control module data and filter identification component data;
- providing a dust monitor disposed in the cabin, wherein the advisor module is configured to communicate with the dust monitor to receive a dust measurement;
- and
- adjusting the air quality system based on the control module data and the filter identification component data.
