   The cover assemblies 6 are fed axially from the low pressure zone 5. Zone 5 is supplied by the leakage flow from zone 9 to zone 5 along the feet 3 of the assemblies and by a complementary flow through regulator orifices
After having gone through assemblies 2 and 6, the refrigerant exits from tank 1 through piping II.
