An inertial inlet particle separator system (14) for a vehicle engine (12) is provided. The system (14) includes a particle sensor (60) that generates a contamination signal. An inertial inlet particle separator (56) is also included in the system (14) and has a fluid parameter adjusting system (58)

An inertial inlet particle separator system (14) for a vehicle engine (12) is provided. The system (14) includes a particle sensor (60) that generates a contamination signal. An inertial inlet particle separator (56) is also included in the system (14) and has a fluid parameter adjusting system (58) mechanically coupled within the inertial inlet particle separator (56). A controller (62) is electrically coupled to the particle sensor (60) and the clean fluid parameter adjusting system (58). The controller (62) adjusting a fluid parameter of the inertial inlet particle separator (56) in response to the contamination signal. A method of performing the same is also provided.
