This inverted siphon was used to draw the fire's hot fumes up the front and down the back of the Franklin stove's hollow baffle, in order to extract as much heat as possible from the fumes. The earliest known example of such an inverted siphon was the 1618 fireplace of Franz Kessler. [9] The fire burned in a ceramic box.
Four inverted siphon tunnels cross the particularly deep and wide river valleys of the Durèze, the Garon, [4] the Yzeron and the Trion on pipe bridges raised on high arches. In these, water filled a sunken tank tower (castellum [5]) on the brim of a slope. The tank effected a transition between open channel flow and a lead pipeline.
When used to measure pressures other than atmospheric pressure, a siphon barometer is sometimes called a siphon gauge; these are not siphons but follow a standard U-shaped design [58] leading to the term. Siphon barometers are still produced as precision instruments. [59] Siphon barometers should not be confused with a siphon rain gauge., [60]
Inverted siphoning occurs below the line "A". Examples of traps In plumbing , a trap is a U-shaped portion of pipe designed to trap liquid or gas to prevent unwanted flow; most notably sewer gases from entering buildings while allowing waste materials to pass through.

It included 15 inverted siphons that covered a distance of 6.13 miles (9.87 km). A tunnel 0.7 miles (1.1 km) long also made up part of the ditch. The remainder was open canal. The longest section of pipeline was a 7,961 feet (2,427 m) siphon that crossed the Chatanika River with a head of 544 feet (166 m).
King John V suggested substituting the piping to a fountain system (or inverted siphon system). [1] But, the municipal authority could only decide on reconstructing the arches, since the system was impractical in case of ruptures, requiring opening-up the entire network in case of localizing the problem.
A lift station is a sewer sump that lifts accumulated sewage to a higher elevation. They may also be used to prime an inverted siphon used to cross underneath rivers or other obstructions. The pump may discharge to another gravity sewer or directly to a treatment plant. [6]
