Senior Design Team sdmay20-27 • Gauss Sensor for Magnet Array Filter

About the Project

A problem with closed systems is contaminants that can build within a mechanical system because with moving parts there will always be slight wear with the components that leads to particles traveling through the system. The filter for a vehicle helps to try and trap these particles but is not very effective for small contaminants. Thus the magnetic array filter acts as a second barrier in trapping these contaminants in the filter. Currently there is still no way of knowing when the filter has reached a certain threshold to where particles will not be caught. Our project is to design a sensor that is able to accurately determine when this threshold is reached and alert the user that it is time to change the filter.
