Abstract:
A filtration system includes a particle counter configured to detect particles in a volume of fluid. The filtration system includes a control valve in fluid communication with the particle counter. The filtration system includes a controller in communication with the particle counter and the control valve. The controller may be configured to determine whether the detected particles exceed a predetermined threshold. The controller may be configured to command the control valve. The filtration system includes a filter in fluid communication with the control valve.
