Abstract
The present invention relates to a glass laboratory apparatus that eliminates a pre filter and a provides a simpler vaporizing platform in fluid communication with a fitted disc filter arranged in an exhaust chamber to scrub solids from a gas using water filtration. A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a main vessel adapted to hold a volume of a liquid such as water and an inlet conduit with an opening above the liquid level in the main vessel. The inlet conduit includes a vaporizing platform with a platform having four ventilated regions surrounding the platform.
Claims19
An apparatus for scrubbing a gas, the apparatus comprising:
- a laboratory glass vessel comprising an inlet chamber having an open top, the inlet chamber supporting a first fritted disc filter, the inlet chamber coupled to a downward extending conduit, the first fritted disc filter disposed at a first height;
- an exhaust chamber defined by at least one sidewall coupled to a bottom wall and the at least one sidewall defining an open top wherein the exhaust chamber is adapted to hold a liquid, the exhaust chamber further incudes a second fritted disc filter disposed at a second height, the exhaust chamber further comprising an inlet aperture located adjacent to the bottom wall and coupling to the downward extending conduit of the inlet chamber the inlet aperture being arranged on the at least one sidewall below the second fritted disc filter;
- a vapor cup insert for vaporizing essential oils, the vapor cup comprising a standard glassware tapered inlet adapted to rest inside a portion of the inlet chamber;
- the vapor cup further comprising an oil-receiving chamber disposed at an end of the vapor cup insert opposite from the inlet, the vapor cup further comprising a sphere disposed intermediate between the inlet and the oil-receiving chamber, the sphere further comprising at least one saw cut;
- and
- a liquid disposed in the exhaust chamber at third height whereby when a pressure differential is applied, the gas passes through the first fritted disc filter, then the volume of the liquid and finally through the second fritted disc filter;
- and wherein the first height arranges at a vertical position that is higher than a corresponding vertical position of the second height and wherein the third height arranges intermediate to the first and second heights.
