Abstract: A chamber has a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening. The second opening is higher in level than the first and third openings, and is located at the highest position of a reservoir. Air bubbles are easily collected around the second opening, higher in level than the third opening, due to buoyancy. Moreover, the chamber includes an upper slope on an upper inner wall thereof such that a sectional area of the chamber becomes smaller toward the highest position of the reservoir. The upper slope causes the air bubbles not to stagnate but to be guided to the second opening along the upper slope. This makes easy discharge of the air bubbles from the chamber.

Abstract: A chamber has at least three openings, or a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening formed therein that are in communication with a reservoir. The second opening is higher in level than the first opening. The third opening is used for discharging a liquid within the reservoir by introducing gas through at least one of the first opening and the second opening into the reservoir. Since the third opening is the lowest in level among the three openings, the liquid stored in the reservoir is able to be drained easily.
