(54) An interface portion for a siphonic system


(57) An interface portion (1), for a siphonic system (6) which siphonic system (6) has an upstream portion (2) and a downstream portion (3), the interface portion (1) having an inlet end (10), to be in connection with the upstream portion (2), a discharge end (11), to be in connection with the downstream portion (3), the interface portion (1) being arranged to bring, in use, the upstream portion (2) in liquid connection with the downstream portion (3). The interface portion is distinguished by the inner cross section area of the interface portion (1) increasing continuously from the inlet end (10) to the discharge end (11) for a length (L) of the interface portion (1) that is at least 0.3 times the inner diameter (D) of the discharge end (11), so that the interface portion counteracts an accumulation of a gas downstream of the upstream portion (2), to facilitate priming of the system.
