A degassing device ( 203 ) comprises a first chamber ( 21 ) having an inlet for a liquid, and a second chamber ( 22 ) having an opening ( 23 ) closed by a hydrophobic membrane ( 24 ) and an outlet ( 25 ) for discharging the liquid. The first chamber ( 21 ) has a downstream portion that partially extends within the second chamber ( 22 ) and communicates therewith by a passageway ( 28 ). The second chamber ( 22 ) has a downstream portion that extends below the passageway ( 28 ) and asymmetrically surrounds the downstream portion of the first chamber ( 21 ). |
