Study of Heating Process in Condenser of Thermokinetic Desorpter

Shital Dharmul, D. S. S. Sudhakar

Abstract: Volatile is a substance which can change state from a solid or liquid to vapor. Gas chromatography (GC) is the instrument used to study volatiles and it can analyses molecules whose boiling points are as high as 250?C or more. Thermokinetic Desorpter is a sampling device for GC which doesn?t allow non volatile material in GC column. Condenser plays a vital role in separating volatiles from nonvolatile material. The aim of current study to analyses heating process in condenser to get optimum temperature while separating volatiles.
