Thermoelectric device for collecting exhaled air condensate
Keywords:
diagnostics, coronavirus, condensate, exhaled air, thermoelectric coolingAbstract
The article presents the results of the design development and a description of the manufactured experimental sample of a new highly efficient thermoelectric condenser of pulmonary air for the diagnosis of coronavirus and other diseases with an extended range of condensation temperatures below -20 °C and close to -70 °C. The method of using the developed device in medical diagnostics and the results of its experimental studies are described.
