Rinsing vessel for a filling element

摘要

A rinsing vessel for attachment to a filling element, having a filling pipe essentially coaxially surrounding the return gas pipe and an annular sealing element surrounding the filling pipe is provided on its open end face with an attachment rim which is designed to reach outside the actual sealing range of the sealing element. In the interior of the rinsing vessel, attachment devices for the flow of rinsing agent are provided by means of an internal sleeve which moves the rinsing agent in intimate contact and with alignment of continuous flow past the surfaces of the return gas pipe, the filling pipe and the sealing element. The inner pipe is designed in its interior with a closing element which passes the rinsing agent essentially from the outside of the inner sleeve into the interior of the return gas pipe, it being permitted that small quantities of rinsing agent can pass through between the closing element and the end face end of the return gas pipe.
