Alimentation au moyen de moto-pompes électriques. Les eaux condensées sont recueillis dans une bâche où elles sont reprises par une pompe qui les réintroduit dans la chaudière. [...] Retour des eaux condensées au moyen de vapeur. [...] Ces deux types d'alimenteurs [alimenteurs sous-pression et alimenteurs sous vide], fonctionnant sous l'action de la vapeur, doivent être attentivement surveillés. [...] Le principal avantage qu'ils offrent par rapport aux moto-pompes alimentaires, réside dans le fait qu'ils ne dépendent, en aucune façon, de la fourniture du courant et que leur coût d'exploitation est peu élevé. 2, record 1, French, - motopompe
