  • Patent number: 10539077
    Abstract: Device for draining liquids for an aircraft engine, comprising a collector designed to collect liquids drained from the engine, said device comprising means for pumping the liquids held in the collector and for discharging said liquids, and monitoring means designed to indicate when the liquids have been collected by the collector in an anomalous manner, said monitoring means being designed to be activated when the flow rate of collected liquids is greater than the delivery of the pumping means.
