Abstract:
In general, techniques are described for filter media monitoring within a filtration system. The filter media monitoring techniques described herein include, for example, direct contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located inside a boundary defined by a surface of the filter media, or indirect contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located outside the boundary defined by the surface of the filter media such that the sensor does not make direct physical contact with the filter media being monitored.

Claim (Index 11):
A filter device comprising:\n a filter housing comprising an inlet through which unfiltered fluid enters and an outlet from which filtered fluid exits; a block filter having a primary inner surface and a primary outer surface, the block filter disposed in the filter housing and configured to filter fluid passing therethrough and to maintain a distributed fluid flux through at least one of the inner and outer surfaces; a set of two or more electrical probes extending through a wall of the filter housing and in electrical contact to the block filter configured to conduct an electrical current; and a connector electrically coupled to the set of electrical probes and accessible external to the filter housing to communicate to a controller, the controller configured to detect a property of the electrical current indicative of a capacity of the filter media.
