Abstract
Degassing circuit for a liquid tank, including a degassing duct connecting the upper part of the tank to a higher point, close to the upper end of the filling duct, via a section in the form of a syphon and a liquid/gas separating volume provided at its base with a device for purging the liquid phase present in the degassing duct, in which the purging device brings the degassing duct into communication with the filling duct and is combined with a device creating a Venturi effect conducive, when filling, to purging the liquid phase present in the degassing duct.
