Abstract:
In one example embodiment, a filter condition measurement device features an engine data repository, one or more sensor units, and a measurement unit. The measurement system is configured to identify a first flow value corresponding to a sensed engine power value from the engine data repository, determine a filter coefficient for the filter as a function of the first flow value and the sensed delta-pressure value; identify a second engine power value from the plurality of stored engine power values and a second flow value corresponding to the second engine power value; and determine a second delta-pressure value for the air filter as a function of the filter coefficient and the second flow value.
