Flow regulator
First Claim
1. A flow regulator for gaseous or liquid media, comprising a housing, a regulating unit which changes its free-flow area, depending on the flow pressure of the medium, and further comprising a distributor unit behind the regulating unit in the direction of the flow, characterized in that a perforated disc containing at least one hole is provided between the regulating unit and the distributor unit and can be moved to a limited extent in an axial direction at least in the region of the hole.

Abstract
The invention relates to a flow regulator for gaseous or liquid media, comprising a housing (1), a regulating unit (1) which changes its free flow area, depending on the flow pressure of the medium, and further comprising a distributor unit (3) behind the regulating means (2) in the direction of flow. To provide a flow regulator which is still relatively simple in construction yet enables more constant volume limitation to be maintained and is less sensitive to manufacturing tolerances of the individual components, the invention proposes that a disc (4) containing at least one hole (5) be provided between the regulating unit (2) and the distributor unit (3) and be movable to a limited extent in an axial direction at least in the region of the hole.

17. A fluid flow regulator comprising a housing;
-
a regulating unit mounted inside said housing and including a plastic cone tapering in the direction opposite the flow direction of a fluid flowing therethrough, said cone being provided with a central aperture and a plurality of slots extending radially outward from said aperture and ending before the periphery thereof for changing the free flow area of said regulating unit depending upon the pressure of said fluid; a distributor unit mounted in said housing downstream from said regulating unit; and a disc provided with a hole and mounted between said regulating unit and said distributor unit in a manner affording axial moveability thereof at least in the region of said hole. - View Dependent Claims (18)
