Abstract
A device for eliminating bubbles of gas from a liquid comprises a channel of varying section for the liquid, the channel having a high point for collecting bubbles under gravity, and means for dynamically concentrating bubbles upstream from the high point, said means being constituted by a curved length of the channel situated upstream from the high point. This type of device is used in a variety of technical fields as a component in hydraulic circuits where the presence of bubbles of gas is undesirable.
