Abstract
Included herein are filtration systems that can proactively pulse clean filter elements in response to anticipated changes, such as anticipated changes in filtration performance or anticipated changes in filtration system demand. In an embodiment, a filtration system is included having a filter element mount for a filter element, a compressed gas supply, and a valve, wherein opening the valve results in a pulse of gas directed at the filter element. A control circuit can control the valve. A communications circuit can receive data related to an anticipated change, such as data regarding an anticipated change in filtration performance and/or data regarding an anticipated change in filtration system demand. The control circuit can execute operations based on the anticipated change data such as adjusting a pressure drop threshold and initiating proactively opening the valve in the absence of a pressure drop threshold being crossed. Other embodiments are also included herein.
