Abstract
An apparatus for degassing oil comprising:—a room (30) for receiving oil comprising a first chamber (30a) and a second chamber (30b) connected to the first chamber;—an inlet (31) feeding oil into the first chamber;—an outlet (32) for feeding oil out of the first chamber;—a suction arrangement (40) connected to the outlet (32) for sucking out oil from the room;—a non-return valve (33) connected to the second chamber; and—a regulating device comprising a float (51) and a valve member (52) activated by the float for regulating the feeding of oil into the room. The float has a lower section (51) located in the first chamber and an upper section (51 b) extending into the second chamber. The upper section delimits a flow passage (63) extending between the first chamber and the second chamber. The valve member is arranged to open the inlet when the float assumes a lower position in the room and close the inlet when the float assumes an upper position in the room.
