Abstract

An equalization device is, in particular, in the form of a tank. The housing (2) of the tank has at least one inlet (8) and one outlet (10) for receiving and discharging fluid, respectively, at least in one of the housing walls (4) of the housing, which housing can be filled with the fluid. At least one equalization body (14) is arranged within the housing (2). The equalization body is at least partly provided with an elastically compliant separating wall (20). The interior of the equalization body is delimited, and is at least partly in pressure-equalizing connection (32) with the surroundings at a passage (12, 32) through one of the housing walls (4).
