Case Study · Technology Assessment
Measuring the temperature of gas and liquid in one flow.
A multinational innovator in industrial tools and equipment wanted to measure the temperature of liquid and gas separately and at the same time. We assessed the measurement techniques available and set out what it would take to use the most promising ones.
The Client
The client is a multinational innovator in the industrial tools and equipment space, looking to improve its traditional thermal resistance measurement technology. It wanted to measure the temperature of both liquid and gas accurately, separately and at the same time.
The Challenge
Separate the phases.
Measure them together.
Prescouter was asked whether any instrument could measure gas and liquid temperatures simultaneously, or detect liquid within a gas flow.
-
Measure
Simultaneous temperature
Instruments that read gas and liquid temperatures at once.
-
Detect
Liquid in gas flow
Technologies that spot liquid within the gas stream.
-
Apply
Fit to the process
Whether each technique would work in the client’s system.
Our Approach
Profiling techniques through literature and expert interviews.
Technique profiles
11techniques profiled
Profile each method
Each profile covered how it works, reference cases, limitations, cost range and possible suppliers.
Expert interviews
Expertsfor every technique
Check feasibility
Experts on each technique clarified technical points and answered questions written with the client’s team.
The Outcome
No ready-made answer, but a clear path forward.
Prescouter found that no off-the-shelf commercial solution yet met all of the client’s requirements. It profiled the most promising techniques for the challenge and set out the specific steps the client would need to take to use them in its system.
