CONT

Les systèmes de distribution de la vapeur. Retour humide. [Système à un seul tuyau.] (...) Dans ce système le maître-tuyau distributeur se prolonge un peu plus loin que le dernier radiateur, avec pente vers son extrémité, où l'on place un robinet de dégagement permettant l'évacuation de l'air. Un tuyau d'égouttement (drip) est placé à cette extrémité et joint l'entrée de retour de la bouilloire [chaudière], pour former ce qu'on appelle le retour humide (wet return).
