Claim Text:
1. A system for controlling an air intake system for a work vehicle, the system comprising: a filter assembly including a pre-cleaner configured to separate particulates from air received by the filter assembly, the pre-cleaner defining a pre-cleaner outlet; an electric aspirator in fluid communication with the pre-cleaner outlet, the electric aspirator including a motor configured to rotate a fan so as to create a vacuum for scavenging the particulates separated from the air within the pre-cleaner; a controller communicatively coupled to the electric aspirator, the controller being configured to vary a rotational speed of the motor based on changes in a load-based parameter of the work vehicle; and a particulate sensor communicatively coupled to the controller, the particulate sensor being configured to detect the presence of particulates contained within the air received by the filter assembly.
