Hello All,

It is about gas compressors. Anyone with such technical Savvy?

Cette pression est captée par une écope auxiliaire immergée dans une nappe d'élément dense à mouvement giratoire et délivrant cette pression comme signal de commande à un organe de réglage du débit soutiré à la réserve.

Thanks for your help.

True, "swirling layer of dense element" works too! I see your point! Or even "swirling dense element layer"

Thank you Ann. I like your "swirling". However, I am divided between layer/sheet/web here. Moreover, I think it is the "layer of dense element" that is swirling; not just the "dense element".

layer of a swirling dense element

It seems that elements are described in terms of density. Platinum and gold are dense elements that can of course be described as swirling in their liquid states, and this fits with the idea of a baler tipping out the excess.
