ABSTRACT:
The reservoir, usable more especially in a satellite, comprises a liquid outlet passage having a surface tension confinement device defining a buffer zone communicating with the outlet passage and, through orifices and a meniscus rupture zone, with supply ducts provided along the wall of the reservoir. The orifices are capillary and are provided in a wall situated in the immediate proximity of the point of drawing-off through the outlet passage (12), defining, with a capillary storage volume, a dead space of small volume.
