Abstract
The object of the present invention is to simplify the process of connecting a reservoir for charging and discharging 2 or more fluids with a pipeline for conveying said fluid and to assist the automation of this process. In the present invention, a reservoir, having, at its end face, 2 or more openings for fluids for charging and discharging 2 or more fluids respectively, is connected with pipelines by using a connecting means having flow paths for 2 or more fluids and, at its end face, 2 or more openings for fluids corresponding to each of the flow paths, and each of the respective fluids is passed, when by aligning the center of 1 of the openings for fluids of the reservoir end face with 1 of the openings for fluids of the connecting means end face and by linking said openings for fluids to each other, closed passage spaces are respectively formed which are common to the 1 or more other opening(s) for fluids of the reservoir end face and to the 1 or more corresponding other opening(s) of the connecting means end face respectively, and each fluid is passed via said spaces respectively.
