A continuous dust accumulation monitoring system, device and method monitors and measures dust accumulation via an enclosure and a machine vision subsystem which can include a digital camera. A dirty optics detection subsystem monitors optical clarity and can invoke a cleaning assembly to help maintain clarity of optics for monitoring and measuring dust accumulation.

Continuous dust accumulation monitoring system with impaired optics detection and cleaning

A system, device and method for deployment of one or more dust accumulation sensors receives a baseline measurement associated with no accumulation of dust in a target environment, receives a time-elapsed measurement associated with positive accumulation of dust in the target environment, determines a quantity of accumulated dust in the target environment based on the baseline measurement and the time-elapsed measurement, generates a spatial dust deposition distribution for the target environment based on the determined quantity of accumulated dust and determines a deployment for one or more dust accumulation sensors for the target environment based on the spatial dust deposition distribution.

System, device and method for effective deployment of a dust accumulation sensor

Embodiments of a continuous dust accumulation monitoring system comprise an enclosure adapted for use in electrical hazardous locations, a sample area for collecting ambient dust, a dust accumulation sensor assembly installed in the enclosure configured to generate a signal based on the amount of ambient dust collected on the sample area and a circuit board within the enclosure configured to receive the signal from the dust accumulation sensor assembly. The continuous dust accumulation monitoring system may be connected to system control hardware.
