Abstract
In the openings at the side wall of an infeed or inflow channel there are inserted outlet or discharge elements having an oval cross-section which continuously tapers in the flow direction. The inlet-side portion of the outlet elements, protruding into the interior of the infeed channel, possesses an outwardly drawn or flexed end portion or section which terminates in spaced relation from the channel side wall and forms therewith a catch trough. Within this trough there is entrapped water which is deposited at the inner surface or wall of the infeed channel and which flows downwardly along the channel side wall. At the outlet side of each outlet or discharge element there is arranged a further catch trough which extends at the inner surface of the outlet side or opening along the circumference. This inwardly open catch trough is formed by an end portion or section of the outlet element which is flexed or bent back towards the inside. By means of this catch trough the water which has been separated at the inner surface of the outlet element is prevented from reaching the region of the outlet opening. The base portion of the outlet element is constructed as a collecting trough which …
