Abstract
A system and a method are provided for attenuating pressure surges of liquids, e.g., of a biologically vulnerable liquid, flowing inside a liquid conduit and for cleaning, in particular sterilizing, the liquid conduit. In particular, the liquid is permitted to swerve, in the event that pressure surges occur, into a gas-filled space communicating with the liquid conduit.
