Abstract: A particulate removal tool and method are provided to remove the particulates such as ash and soot from a particulate filter. The particulate filter can be placed on a filter holder in a housing of the tool where a quick burst of air can be provided to clean the particulate filter. The air then can travel to a container which includes additional filter to filter the air. A vacuum can be used to remove additional particulates from the container.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of detecting matter within a filtering device includes measuring a metric indicative of a first quantity of matter within the filtering device and removing a portion of the matter from the filtering device. The method also includes measuring a metric indicative of a second quantity of matter remaining within the filtering device.

Abstract: An on-vehicle service system for removing matter from a filtering device of a single filtering device exhaust system includes a controllable filter bypass line fluidly connecting a first orifice of the filtering device of the single filtering device exhaust system to a second orifice of the filtering device. The service system also includes a receptacle fluidly connected to the filtering device and configured to collect at least a portion of the matter removed by the on-vehicle service system when a fluid is provided through a portion of the filter bypass line into the filtering device.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a system for removing matter from a filtering device of a work machine includes a gas pressurization assembly. An element of the gas pressurization assembly is removably attachable to a first orifice of the filtering device without removing the filtering device from a work machine to which the filtering device is connected. The system also includes a heat source fluidly connected to the gas pressurization assembly.

Abstract: In a fuel injector having a plunger-and-barrel pumping assembly, a sealing member is mounted within an annulus of a plunger to prevent the dilution of pressurized fuel within the barrel of the tool. The sealing member includes a hollowed cavity which traps upward moving pressurized fuel and forces an extension or wiper of the sealing member upward and outward into sealing engagement with the inner surface or bore of the barrel.
