Innovative system that enables multichannel emissions sampling

Delivering a Faster, Simpler, and 62% Cheaper Solution in Eight Weeks

Project Snapshot

Industry: Aerospace / Combustion Emissions Testing

Challenge: A high-cost, four-month lead-time design hindered timely emissions measurement upgrades.

Result: Fully functional system delivered in 8 weeks at 38% of the quoted cost, saving ≈ $50 K per unit and meeting all technical and accuracy requirements.

1. Opening Hook – The Challenge

A major combustion test facility needed a multichannel emissions sampling system capable of reading from individual exhaust probes and also measuring a combined total-average sample. The goal was to quickly connect twelve sampling ports at the exhaust outlet and route each to the emissions analyzer without compromising accuracy of NOx, CO, and CO₂ measurements.

The customer’s initial engineering proposal, developed by a third party, quoted an $80 K system with a four‑month delivery, which was unacceptable given the test program schedule. Their target: complete installation in 8 weeks with comparably high measurement fidelity.
