Abstract
A scent presentation system for segregating a desired scent from other scents suspended in a gas. The desired scent has a density that differs from that of another scent in the gas. The system includes a housing having a sloping top wall and a pair of elongated sloping side walls extending downward from the top wall on opposite sides of the top wall. The top wall and the pair of side walls define a channel extending between an upstream end and a downstream end of the housing. The system has a separating gate extending downward into the channel from the top wall to a lower end positioned inside the channel. The gate separates the channel into upstream and downstream chambers. The upstream end has an inlet port allowing the gas to enter the channel, and the downstream end has an outlet port allowing the gas to exit the channel.
