The tracer supply device 2 according to the present embodiment is one in which dry ice 6 and water 7 are contained in an Erlenmeyer flask 5, and white smoke generated when the dry ice 6 sublimates is used as the tracer 3.
In addition, since the tracer supply device 2 in the present embodiment uses carbon dioxide heavier than air for the tracer 3, the supply device 2 is installed at a position higher than the chemical volatilization device 1 and the hose 8 is used. The tracer 3 is supplied to the vicinity of the inlet 10 of the chemical volatilization device 1 more stably.

  Here, the tracer 3 is particularly limited to a material or the like as long as the observer can identify the tracer 3 with the naked eye and can supply the gas to the suction port 10 of the chemical volatilization device 1 and discharge it from the exhaust port 11. For example, fine powder such as silicic acid anhydride, water mist which is fine water droplets, smoke such as smoke ball or mosquito coil can be used.

  Further, the tracer 3 needs to be able to supply continuously during the demonstration time, specifically, before the operation of the chemical volatilization device 1 from the start of operation to the end of operation, and at least 500 ml / min or more. It is preferable that can be supplied for 1 minute or longer.

  When white smoke generated when water 7 is added to the dry ice 6 as the tracer 3 is used as in the present embodiment, the dry ice 6 and the water 7 come into contact with each other on the surface of the dry ice 6. Ice may precipitate and the amount of white smoke generated as the tracer 3 may gradually decrease. Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon, the ice deposited on the surface of the dry ice 6 can be broken by irradiating the container containing the dry ice 6 such as the Erlenmeyer flask 5 with ultrasonic waves.
