Air flow and vacuum/pressure sensors in a dust collection sy

[Roberto Hawkowski]

Hello Everybody,

In an industrial application I need to monitor air flow and pressure/vacuum
in a dust collection system (it is just like a huge vacuum cleaner) to
understand if the filters are working okay or not.

Would any one have any experience in such an application to share or any
suggestion for this type of application?

Thank you.

Have linear pressure sensors on either side of the filter (configured
to sense vacuum), and indicate the delta. If it climbs, the filter is
getting clogged.

Visit your Electrolux Dealer/Repair man.
They use(d) a simple system like that to disable the vacuum when the bag was
full. They also had a dial on the top to select the amount of "fullness".

google or whatever for "sail switch" used in furnaces etc to shut them
down if airflow is decreased.
