Sensor Apparatus and Method for Capturing Substances in a Fluid

Abstract

A sensor apparatus for capturing substances in a fluid includes a functional element, a vibration generating device, a cooling device, a gas sensor device, and a housing. The functional element is configured to condense and atomize fluid, and the vibration generating device is configured to cause the functional element to mechanically vibrate. The cooling device is configured to cool the functional element, and the gas sensor device is configured to capture gaseous substances in the fluid atomized by the functional element. The housing is configured to accommodate the functional element, the vibration generating device, the cooling device, and the gas sensor device. At least one passage opening for the fluid is formed in the housing.
