Abstract

A flow rate sensor for use with an air filter channels air flow to energize an audible sound generator upon development of an air pressure differential within the sensor above a settable threshold, which pressure differential results from a reduction in the air flow rate through the air filter due to clogging of the air filter by filtered matter.
