Second, the exchange volumetric flow rate is limited. It is limited such that the sum of the currently calculated leakage and the evacuation volumetric flow rate does not exceed a defined value. Thus, stress on the patient due to unnecessarily high exchange volumetric flow rates and the associated cooling and drying processes is prevented.
