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.

45. A method of cleaning a diesel particulate filter media, the method comprising:
-
selectively directing a pulsed flow of gas from a compressed gas source through the filter media; increasing a temperature of the filter media with a heat source positioned proximate to the filter media; and transferring heat to the filter media with the pulsed flow of gas passing through the filter media and transferring heat to the filter media without the pulsed flow of gas passing through the filter media. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
