French term or phrase: ballon de reprise
"ecoulement gravitaire dans un ballon de reprise des condensats puis reinjection par pompe de reprise..." I'm guessing this is must be a recirculation system, but do any power engineers know the mot juste?

I am only guessing but I looked up "ballon" and "reprise" in the GDT and they correspond under the energy or electricity modules; check out the links; caveat however, I am just guessing...
