RESERVOIR FOR FLUID

摘要

Container unit (2) for hydraulic liquid intended to be used for, for example, hydrostatic powering of equipment in motor vehicles. The container unit comprises not only a filter housing (4) with a liquid inlet (10) but also a main container (6) which is connected to the filter housing, has a liquid outlet (32) and is in communication with the interior of the filter housing via at least two vertically separated flow passages (24, 26) whereby the flow of liquid from the filter housing (4) to the interior of the main container (6) is divided. The upper (24) of these two passages is situated in the region of the upper portion of the filter (8), while the lower passage (26) is situated in the region of the bottom of the filter housing. A liquid level measuring means (34) is also advantageously situated in the main container (6).
