Abstract:
1. A reservoir assembly for containing a non-corrosive liquid and a gas located above said non-corrosive liquid, said gas containing an evaporated liquid, said reservoir assembly comprising: a main reservoir, said main reservoir defining a main reservoir bottom wall, a main reservoir top wall and a main reservoir peripheral wall extending therebetween; an auxiliary reservoir, said auxiliary reservoir defining an auxiliary reservoir bottom wall and an auxiliary reservoir peripheral wall extending therefrom, said auxiliary reservoir peripheral wall defining a peripheral wall top edge, said auxiliary reservoir being located inside said main reservoir with said auxiliary reservoir peripheral wall located substantially adjacent said main reservoir peripheral wall so as to allow an infiltration of said non-corrosive liquid between said main reservoir peripheral wall and said auxiliary reservoir peripheral wall when said auxiliary reservoir is filled with said non-corrosive liquid and said non-corrosive liquid overflows over said peripheral wall top edge; and a deflector, said deflector defining a deflector free end, said deflector being mounted inside said main reservoir to said main reservoir peripheral wall, said deflector free end being located above said auxiliary reservoir; whereby, when said evaporated liquid condenses from said gas onto said main reservoir peripheral wall above said deflector to form a condensed liquid and said condensed liquid flows downwardly under the action of gravity, said deflector deflects said condensed liquid towards said auxiliary reservoir to collect said condensed liquid therein.
