ABSTRACT:
A method for determining constituents in water, in particular the content of organic carbon and/or nitrogen, in which an aqueous sample is evaporated and combusted in at least one heating vessel (154a) provided with a heater (154), and the combustion product is delivered in a transporting gas stream to a detector (142) for determining the concentration of a gaseous compound of the constituent, wherein the heating vessel, or a first heating vessel, at the instant of delivery of the aqueous sample has a temperature below or at most within the range of the boiling temperature of the sample, and after delivery of the sample the temperature is increased, wherein the sample is heated by one and the same heater in a first step from an outset temperature below the boiling temperature to an evaporation temperature, and in a second step to a substantially higher temperature, and the combustion product is kept in closed circulation during the analysis.
