1. 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 while the filter media is disposed on an engine-powered machine, the machine including an engine, and the filter media being configured to receive combustion exhaust from the engine when the filter media is disposed on the machine;
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.

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.

12. 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, wherein the filter media is disposed within a housing and the compressed gas source is disposed external to the housing; increasing a temperature of the filter media with a heat source disposed within the housing; 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 (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. 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 in a first direction while maintaining the filter media in a substantially horizontal orientation; 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 (19)
