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

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.
