Air quality monitoring and control system
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.
Exhaust gas control system for internal combustion engine
An exhaust gas control system for an internal combustion engine, before execution of a filter regeneration process, executes a pre-regeneration process that is a process of raising a temperature of a filter to a second target temperature lower than a first target temperature and increasing the concentration of NO.sub.2 contained in exhaust gas flowing into the filter for a predetermined period. An execution time of the filter regeneration process when a physical quantity that correlates with a speed of change in a detected value of a differential pressure sensor during execution of the pre-regeneration process is large is shorter than an execution time of the filter regeneration process when the physical quantity is small.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL APPARATUS FOR ANIMAL HOUSING FACILITIES
The present application is directed to an environmental control system for an agricultural animal housing facility. This system includes a plurality of air handling systems configured to deliver supply air to an agricultural animal housing facility, wherein each air handling system is configured to receive a portion of fresh air and a portion of recirculated internal air, and wherein each air handling system is configured to mix the fresh air and internal air and provide the resultant mixture to the agricultural animal housing facility as supply air. The plurality of air handling systems are configured to regulate a proportion of fresh air to internal air in response to an internal temperature of the agricultural animal housing facility.
AIR PURIFICATION APPARATUS FOR INDOOR WINDOW VENT
The present invention discloses an air purification apparatus for an indoor window vent, comprising an installing plate. Fixing blocks are welded on both sides of the installing plate. An air purification module is installed in the middle position of the installing plate. An air outlet apparatus is arranged on one side of the air purification module.

A filter mesh and a first fan are respectively arranged on one side of the active carbon filtering unit and the PM2.5 purification unit which are away from each other. A cleaning brush is vertically arranged on one side of the filter mesh away from the active carbon filtering unit. The present invention can seal window vents with different sizes, and has good purification effect.
CONTROL METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN AIR INTAKE SYSTEM WHICH SUPPLIES AIR TO AN ENGINE OF A VEHICLE
A control method for controlling an air intake system for an engine of a vehicle; the intake system has a main air intake coupled to an air filter provided with a heating device. The control method comprises the steps of: determining a pressure difference between upstream and downstream of the air filter; determining a variation speed of the pressure difference between upstream and downstream of the air filter by calculating the first derivative in time of the pressure difference between upstream and downstream of the air filter; and turning on and/or turning off the heating device based on the variation speed of the pressure difference between upstream and downstream of the air filter.
Environment cleaning system for an animal breeding house
An environment cleaning system for an animal breeding house has an outside environment, a breeding house, an air covering, and a cleaning device. The breeding house is deposited in the outside environment. The air covering is deposited in the outside environment and is mounted around the breeding house. The air covering is used to buffer the air pressure between the outside environment and the breeding house. The cleaning device is deposited in the outside environment, is connected to the air covering and the breeding house, and has an air exchanging unit and at least one filtering unit. The air exchanging unit controls the relative pressure among the outside environment, the air covering, and the breeding house to provide a unidirectional air flowing effect, and the flowing direction of the air is based on the relative pressure between the breeding house and the air covering.
Filter conditioning unit for high-volume sampling filters
Disclosed is a filter conditioning unit for cleaning and conditioning high-volume sampling (HVS) filters. The unit includes, among other elements, a filter tray suitable for holding one or more HVS filters, a manifold in which the filter tray is inserted, and an optional enclosure for safety. The manifold is suitable for heating the filter tray and filters therein to a desired temperature while purge gas is introduced to the manifold. Also described herein is a method of using the filter conditioning unit.
Systems and methods for correlating indoor air quality data and trends to pathogen remediation
An indoor air quality (IAQ) control system for a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) system including an IAQ monitor that collects air quality data from an air quality sensor of an air quality-controlled space; a controller that manages a remediation device of the air quality-controlled space; and an IAQ management server that generates a biological pollutant estimate based on the air quality data using an algorithm that correlates the air quality data to the biological pollutant estimate, and generates a remediation recommendation. Additionally, a control method includes collecting air quality data from an air quality sensor of an air quality-controlled space using an IAQ monitor; managing a remediation device of the air quality-controlled space using a controller; generating a biological pollutant estimate based on the air quality data using an algorithm that correlates the air quality data to the biological pollutant estimate; and generating a remediation recommendation.
EXHAUST SYSTEM, CONTROLLER AND METHOD FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Aspects of the present invention relate to an exhaust system (207) for exhausting combustion gases from an internal combustion engine (101). The exhaust system (207) includes an exhaust conduit (215) for conveying exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine (101). A particulate filter (214) is providing for filtering particulates from the exhaust gases conveyed by the exhaust conduit (207). A supply inlet (216) is arranged to introduce gas into the particulate filter (214) to promote regeneration. The supply inlet (216) is disposed upstream of the particulate filter (214) and downstream of a catalytic convertor (209). A control valve (218) is provided for controlling the supply of gas to the particulate filter (214) to control regeneration. Aspects of the present invention also relate to a vehicle (100) incorporating a controller (104); and a method of controlling operation of the control valve (218) to control regeneration of the particulate filter (214).
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PARTICULATE FILTER LOAD ESTIMATION
Methods and systems are provided for monitoring a change in exhaust particulate filter (PF) soot load during an engine non-combusting condition. In one example, a method may include, responsive to a higher than threshold PF temperature immediately prior to an engine shutdown, estimating a rate of soot burn when the engine is no longer combusting, and estimating a soot load on the PF during and at an onset of immediately subsequent engine start based in part on the rate of soot burn.
