Abstract
A condensate separator especially for a portable smoke or gas analyzer includes a condensate chamber (26) formed inside a housing (20) and sealed off from the environment. A gas supply element (30) is inserted into condensate chamber (26) and a gas discharge element (40) is provided to discharge gas from the condensate chamber (26). A Peltier element (10) having a hot side (12) and a cold side (14) is mounted on housing (20) and serves to cool the test gas flowing through condensate chamber (26), with cold side (14) being inserted almost completely into condensate chamber (26) so that it is in direct contact with the test gas. An elongated unheated test gas tube (100) supplies test gas to the condensate separator.
