FLOW LIMITER AND USE OF A FLOW LIMITER IN AN AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OF AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM OF AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

A flow limiter comprises a line segment with an air inlet and an air outlet and at least one resistance element. The resistance element is positioned within the line segment and impresses a predetermined flow resistance on an air flow that extends from the air inlet to the air outlet. Preferably, the resistance element extends at least in part in an axial direction of the line segment. Such a flow limiter is used to adjust an air volume flow and comprises particularly low generation of intrinsic noise.
