SEMI-AUTOMATIC DEVICE FOR THE EVAPORATION OF SOLVENTS BY ANALYTICAL GAS FOR CONCENTRATION OF ATMOSPHERIC SAMPLES, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY AND QUANTIFY ORGANIC CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS WITH TOXIC PROPERTIES

摘要

Device, system and operation method to perform functions in a semiautomatic manner, which permits the most favorable condition to evaporate a plurality of environmental samples that are diluted in solvents, by means of gas sweeping, preferably nitrogen, and a control electronic system that permits the superficial evaporation of the solvent thanks to exposing a cold sample kept at a constant temperature to a controlled gas flux. Furthermore, safety measures are considered to protect the extract, such as: acoustic and luminous signals that inform when it has been reached a critical moment in the process, reduction of gas flux during the last stage of the evaporation and valves to completely shut off the gas flux if a determined time period is exceeded.
