Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de transport de liquides par gaz comprimé ou vapeur. Selon l’invention, au moins deux volumes de gaz variables V1, V2 sont formés à l’intérieur d’une cuve (1). Le niveau du liquide dans les deux volumes varie et la commutation entre les procédés d’alimentation et de rejet est réalisée par la différence de pression créée entre les volumes de gaz. Un deuxième volume est formé à l’intérieur du dispositif par un cylindre (2) à fond ouvert. Un tube (10) doté d’un clapet intérieur (5) est installé dans le cylindre (2). Le mouvement de clapets (3), (4) est synchronisé et dépend de la position du cylindre (2). Le procédé et le dispositif selon l’invention assurent un transport uniforme et sans perturbations de liquides.
