Abstract
According to various embodiments, a liquid collecting arrangement (151) can include: a container (102) having a cavity (102h) for collecting liquid; at least one extraction fitting (104) coupled to the cavity (102h) for extracting the liquid from the cavity (102h) by means of negative pressure; a sensor opening (106) connected to the cavity (102h) for detecting the liquid in the cavity (102h); one or more first liquid feeds (108) opening into the cavity (102h) on a first side (101a) of the container for feeding liquid into the cavity (102h); one or more second liquid feeds (118) opening into the cavity (102h) on the first side or a second side (101b) of the container for feeding liquid into the cavity (102h), wherein the first side (101a) is opposite to the second side (101b).
Claims16
A liquid-collecting arrangement (151) including:
- a container (102) having a cavity (102h) for collecting liquid;
- at least one extraction fitting (104) coupled to the cavity (102h) for extracting liquid from the cavity (102h) by means of negative pressure;
- one or more first liquid feeds (108) opening directly into the cavity (102h) on a first side (101a) of the container for feeding liquid into the cavity (102h);
- one or more second liquid feeds (118) opening directly into the cavity (102h) on the first side or on a second side (101b) of the container for feeding liquid into the cavity (102h), wherein the first side (101a) is opposite to the second side (101b);
- and
- a pressure compensation fitting (704), connected to the one or more first liquid feeds (108) and to the one or more second liquid feeds (118) by means of the cavity (102h);
- wherein teh at least one extraction fitting (104) opens laterally into the cavity (102h) at a height adjacent to the one or more first liquid feeds.
