title: An improved air break receiver unit. A design suited to high-vacuum scavenging systems.
abstract: The advantages of active anti-pollution systems are discussed, in particular those depending on a high vacuum and narrow-bore pipework. The design requirements of a receiver for such a system are set out and the detailed design of such a receiver described. The performance of the unit is assessed with special regard to efficiency and safety.
