More Information
Summary:An apparatus for monitoring a parameter of a solvent during a drying process is described. The apparatus includes a light source providing at least one light beam and a detection system receiving a signal corresponding to the at least one light beam transmitted through a vapor of the solvent flowing through a diagnostic region. A processor can determine from the signal at least one solvent parameter associated with the vapor of the solvent, and the processor can determine from the at least one solvent parameter the instantaneous mass flux of the vapor of the solvent.
