U shaped siphon piping
U shaped siphon piping
(OP)
Can someone please help me with my problem of designing the u shaped siphon pipline between two tanks.
I have made a sketch of a problem so you can better understand what's the problem about.
Thanks

Independent events are seldomly independent.

You have to include some type of vent to allow the fluid to move.
Please explain.

I'm not making this up, and I'm not trying to construct anything, I'm just trying to understand why is this pipeline done in this way. I will try to send you tomorrow some pictures of the actual pipeline so you can see what's it really about.

The upper tank also needs some type of vent or the fluid would not drain.

There is not adequate space for all the valves if the pipe was installed straight downward from the tank.
The horizontal movement allows the barrel to be located away from the base of the tank. Otherwise, it is too crowded at the base of the tank.
I am not sure that this is actually a siphon. It looks to just be a method to drain something from the tank, not siphon the tank.
