The gas is drawn through the bags, either on the inside or the outside depending on cleaning method, and a layer of dust accumulates on the filter media surface until air can no longer move through it. When sufficient pressure drop occurs, the cleaning process begins. Cleaning can take place while the baghouse is online or when it is offline. When the compartment is clean, normal filtering resumes.
