Abstract
A device includes a collection channel, a protection channel, and a tank containing a liquid. The collection channel is configured to direct an airflow containing particles from the outside to the interior of the tank. The airflow passes through the liquid and the protection channel, and is connected to an outlet of the tank. The tank includes a barrier configured to prevent liquid spatters from reaching the outlet and to allow the airflow to pass through the tank to the outlet. The protection channel is connected to a source of suction, is configured to direct the flow from the outlet to the source of suction. The protection channel includes a condenser configured to condense a vapor of the liquid and to direct the generated condensate to the tank.
