         8 . The device according to claim  1 , wherein at least one of a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor and a conductivity sensor and a volume flow sensor serves as a sensor. 
     
     
         9 - 11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . The device for treating vapors according to claim  1 , wherein
 at least one cooling member in the form of a solid body is arranged in the container.   
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein a cooling plate serves as cooling member. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein the cooling member is liquid-cooled. 
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 12 , comprising an inlet through which cooling fluid can be applied to the cooling member. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein the cooling member in each case has one or more defined outlets for draining cooling fluid into the bottom tray of the container. 
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 12 , wherein the at least one cooling member has a respective overflow edge. 
     
     
         18 - 20 . (canceled) 
     
     
         21 . The device according to claim  1 , comprising a control device by means of which an addition of cooling fluid to the container can be controlled. 
     
     
         22 . The device according to claim  1 , wherein the through-flow connection has a flow cross-section increasing in the direction of flow. 
     
     
         23 . An apparatus for cleaning vapors comprising:
 a device for treating vapor according to claim  1 ; and   a fan for applying negative pressure to the container.   
     
     
         24 . The apparatus for cleaning vapors according to  claim 23 , wherein the sensor is connected in a signal-transmitting manner to a control device for controlling the volume flow that is extracted by the fan.
