Abstract
Apparatus for measuring the rate of flow of liquid through a liquid/air separator having a chamber space provided with at least one liquid/gas inlet duct, at least one gas outlet duct and at least one liquid outlet duct, includes a measuring receptacle disposed in the chamber into which liquid is received from the inlet duct. The measuring receptacle has an inflow compartment located below the inlet duct and receives the liquid from the inlet duct and a measuring compartment partially separated from the inflow compartment by a partition arranged so that liquid is accumulated and slowed in the inflow compartment. The measuring compartment has an outlet above a surface level of liquid in the chamber space. A suitable measuring device measures the quantity of liquid in the measuring compartment.
