Abstract

Pressure compensators for stabilizing the flow of water are disclosed including at least one flow orifice (10) passing through a pressure compensator body (1) and at least one flexible flow controller (2) which can at least partially block the orifice (10) to provide it with a predetermined flow area whereby the flow controller flexes and reduces the flow area at increased water pressures. Flow controllers are also disclosed for controlling the flow of water including a revolving body (5) for selectively opening and closing a number of flow openings (17) therethrough.

IPC Classes  ?

• E03C 1/08 - Jet regulators, e.g. anti-splash devices
• E03C 1/084 - Jet regulators with aerating means
• E03C 1/086 - Jet regulators or jet guides, easily mountable on the outlet of taps
• F16K 17/22 - Excess-flow valves actuated by the difference of pressure between two places in the flow line
• F16K 17/28 - Excess-flow valves actuated by the difference of pressure between two places in the flow line acting directly on the cutting-off member operating in one direction only
• F16K 17/34 - Excess-flow valves in which the flow-energy of the flowing medium actuates the closing mechanism
• G05D 7/01 - Control of flow without auxiliary power
