Abstract

See full text

Embodiments described herein include a system of fluid-delivery hardware, including tubes, valves, and pumps that deliver samples of fluid gathered from various exposed locations of a vehicle to commonly located gas analysis sensors. A durable sensor housing contains the gas sensors and is situated in a confined location of the vehicle, which is environmentally isolated and physically partitioned from the sample locations exposed to potentially deleterious environments. For a given sample location, a tube and valves gather and channel fluid samples from the sample location towards the sensor housing at the confined location. A pump forces air outwards to purge debris in the tube or tube inlet, and draws air inward through the tube towards the sensor housing for delivery to the sensors.
