Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Seal Oil Draining
English term or phrase: common float trap valve
Used seal oil inside the generator will drain to seal oil drain enlargements (one on the CE and one on the TE) where hydrogen bubbles can come to the surface of the oil, and then to a common float trap valve which reduces the oil pressure from generator pressure down to bearing drain pressure and prevents hydrogen from escaping with the oil.

Again, so many thanks for any help! Really struggling on this one!

Comme cet appareil empêche l'hydrogène de s'échapper en ne laissant s'écouler que l'huile, il s'agit très probablement d'un purgeur (à la manière d'un purgeur de condensat qui ne laisse pas passer la vapeur).
