<p>Environmental gases, e.g. air are collected in an apparatus wherein a sample bottle containing a metering orifice for admitting the gas is contained within and cooled by a bath of liquid cryogen thus creating a partial vacuum inside the bottle to draw gas into the bottle where it is condensed and stored. The apparatus includes a source of cryogenic refrigeration disposed in an evacuated space above the liquid cryogen to condense liquid cryogen boil-off. By combining evacuation and cryogenic refrigeration the sample bottle holder can be rapidly cooled to operating temperature.</p> |
