SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADSORPTION CAPACITY ESTIMATION

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18712316 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADSORPTION CAPACITY ESTIMATION

Original Abstract Submitted

A filter remaining capacity detection system is presented that includes a parameter retriever that retrieves parameter information for an atmosphere around the filter. The system also includes an adsorption estimate generator that, based on the parameter information retrieved, solves a set of controlling equations to generate an adsorption estimate. The controlling equations are a set of mass and energy balance equations. The system also includes a remaining capacity detector that, based on the adsorption estimate, generates a remaining capacity estimate. The system also includes a signal generator that generates a signal if the remaining capacity estimate is below a threshold.
