Abstract

The automatic purger has an intermediate chamber (11) one of the walls of which is formed by an elastic diaphragm (10), termed front diaphragm, whereas the other wall is formed by a second elastic diaphragm (12), termed rear diaphragm. This chamber is connected to a purger (20) formed by a body (21) defining a small internal enclosure (22) in which an element (25), which is highly permeable to the gas, is disposed. The invention is applicable to a hydraulically controlled or actuated pump of the reciprocating or displacement type.
