7 - Pressurized Reservoirs
Here are two examples of the Douglass Pressurized Reservoir. In (A), a low pressure is created by the Venturi action of flowing oil. This would cause air to come in through pipe (1) to relieve the low pressure; and a pressure head would be formed. The relief valve on the vent at the top of the tank would regulate the pressure. In (B), the spring load and piston keep oil under constant pressure. This type of design is bad because you couldnt fill the reservoir with oil easily.
This type of reservoir is very difficult to maintain. Also, bubbles trapped within this system cannot be removed very easily. Its good points are that it is foamless and has no air which can be trapped in the fluid due to its operation.
