Gas emission sample container with heating means

摘要

The temperature of gas stored within a gas emission sample container is maintained at a predetermined, constant temperature. In one embodiment, a heater is mounted in a receptacle formed on and adjacent to one of the side walls of the container. The heater is in the form of a planar arranged electric coil. A reflective surface is mounted in the receptacle next to one surface of the heater for reflecting heat from the heater toward the adjacent side wall of the container. The side wall of the container adjacent the heater is preferably of a black material for enhanced heat absorption. In another embodiment, at least one of the side walls of the container is formed of a black material for enhanced heat absorption. A heater is disposed in proximity with the container for generating heat which is absorbed by the black side wall of the container.
