Abstract
Apparatus for the continuous metering of the vapors contained in the atmosphere. It comprises a thermoelectric module subject to the Peltier effect, which is supplied with electric power and whose hot face is in contact with a heat-dissipating radiator and whose cold face is in contact with a thermally insulated condensation chamber in which circulates the atmosphere charged with the vapors to be condensed, said chamber having a conductive metal structure provided with perforated ribs, the flow of the atmosphere and the temperature being permanently controlled at values such that the condensed vapor remains in the liquid state, the liquid condensate obtained flowing by gravity into the lower part of the chamber which, for this purpose, has a liquid phase discharge port.
Claims3
An apparatus for the continuous metering of the vapours contained in the atmosphere of the type in which said atmosphere is circulated in contact with a cold source, leading to the condensation of the vapours, wherein it comprises a thermoelectric module subject to the Peltier effect, which is supplied with electric power and whose hot face is in contact with a heat-dissipating radiator and whose cold face is in contact with a thermally insulated condensation chamber in which circulates the atmosphere charged with the vapours to be condensed, said chamber having a conductive metal structure provided with perforated ribs, the flow of the atmosphere and the temperature being permanently controlled at values such that the condensed vapour remains in the liquid state, the liquid condensate obtained flowing by gravity into the lower part of the chamber which, for this purpose, has a liquid phase discharge port.
