
CO2 concentration increases due to:
 Poorly ventilated areas
 Combustion of fossil fuels
 Human respiration

Exposure to elevated levels can lead to
hypercapnia, resulting in possible death

SAM filters can detect various gases
including CO2 and refrigerants
 Detects leaks sooner and at lower
levels to avoid air quality fines

 Section 609 of EPA’s Clean Air Act
allows for fines of $32,500 per day!
 OSHA Indoor Air Quality Standards

SAMURAI: SAM Unit Redesign and Integration

Fully integrate Windows CE environment

Develop remote configuration application

Create peripheral interface board

Develop standalone remote monitor with LCD

Design power inverter for pump
5

Final product has the potential to save lives

Opportunity to give new face to product line

Installation cost is currently too high for some
customers
