ABSTRACT:
In controlling a volatile substance, for example in controlling the release of ethylene oxide for use in a sterilization apparatus, the volatile substance is contained under pressure in a confined system and the latter is immersed in a fluid. The fluid is capable of absorbing the volatile substance such that if any of the volatile substance leaks from the confined systems into the immersion fluid, physicochemical changes will occur in the immersion fluid. These physicochemical changes may be sensed by various detecting devices which thereby serve to detect leaks of volatile substance from the confined system. The immersion fluid may be used as a heat transfer medium in heat exchange relationship with the confined system and desired associated control elements such as a pressure regulator to thereby prevent undesirable condensation of the volatile substance.
