Abstract

A conduit connection assembly includes a first conduit part and a second conduit part, assembled to form a conduit connection delimiting a first fluid conducting volume from a second fluid conducting volume. The first and second fluid conducting volumes communicate with each other via a pressure change inducing device. During use of the conduit connection assembly, the pressure in the first conducting volume is higher than the pressure in the second conducting volume. A cavity is formed between the first and second conduit parts at a distance from the first fluid conducting volume, and a draining connection is adapted to provide a communication between the cavity and the second fluid conducting volume. A slot, formed by the assembly of the two conduit parts, provides a communication between the first fluid conducting volume and the cavity.
