Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1361066A1] A fluid supply system includes a container for degassing the fluid to be supplied, having a first compartment (I) and a second compartment (II) in fluid communication with the first one for containing a fluid with a fluid surface at a fluid height (h1) with reference to a bottom of the container. The first compartment in the container io includes a fluid inlet (114) and the second compartment includes a fluid outlet (115). The first and the second compartment are separated by a partition (112) extending above the fluid surface, and having an opening chosen so as to force the fluid to leave the first compartment and enter the second compartment at a height lower than half the height of the fluid surface. <IMAGE>
