  • Publication number: 20080229927
    Abstract: A control system for use with a filter cleaning apparatus. The filter is supported in a housing and has a surface at which particulates are separated from a fluid stream passing through the filter and collected. The control system comprises a header for supplying pressurized fluid to at least one blowpipe to direct a stream of cleaning fluid into the filter to dislodge particulates from the surface of the filter. An actuatable valve is fluidly connected with the header and the blowpipe. Upon actuation, the valve permits pressurized fluid to flow from the header to the blowpipe. A wireless receiver is associated with the valve to actuate the valve upon receiving an actuation signal.
