GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The objective of the degassing system is to raise the temperature of the sample to its boiling point,
in order to remove the greatest amount of CO₂ from it. To maximize the extraction efficiency of
CO₂ and minimize the production of water vapor, precise temperature control has been designed
by means of a control loop formed by a temperature controller, an RTD and a heating cartridge
that provides the necessary heat, to raise and maintain the temperature at the required set point.
The CO₂ extracted from the sample leaves the atmosphere through a tube, which travels through
the interior of a cooler, which guarantees that, in case of vapor occur at any time, it will condense
and will be removed by means of the general drainage of the system.

After the elimination of CO₂, the sample requires cooling to perform a measurement of degassed
conductivity under optimal conditions. That is why the sample is directed to a cooler, for the
operation of which, there are two options: Sample is cooled with cooling water from an external
source or it exchanges heat with itself, by passing the sample through the cooler prior to passing
through the heater.
