1.1.2 Filter Cleaning
Filter elements are cleaned automatically and
sequentially. The result is that only one filter
cartridge will be off-line for cleaning at any
given time.
During the filter element cleaning purge, a
solenoid valve is energized, causing the
corresponding diaphragm valve to send a pulse
of compressed air through the filter element
(from the inside outward), removing the
collected dust from the outside surfaces of the
filter element. The dust falls into the dust storage
container.
