fosa húmeda rectangular


Explanation:
Se usa la configuración con wet pit y dry pit cuando las bombas no son sumergibles; es una configuración un poco anticuada. En el dry pit estan las bombas, y en el wet pit adyacente está el pozo que acumula el líquido que succionan las bombas, por eso es wet.

Se suele traducir como fosa húmeda o pozo húmedo. También podría ser "mojado" si se trata de líquidos no acuosos.

Conviene mantener juntas las palabras "fosa" y "húmeda" porque es a lo que está acostumbrado el lector técnico de estos materiales.
