Problems solved by technology

However, this known throttle plate is problematic because of the broadband noise level due to the pressure drop and the inflow turbulence, which is caused by strong eddies that often form behind the plate, e.g. figure 1 shown

Embodiment Construction

[0024] First, refer to figure 1 A brief description of known single-orifice plates used to date for reducing volumetric flow rates in climate control systems is briefly described. figure 1 A branch pipe 4 of a piping system (not further shown) of a climate control system is shown. The single-orifice plate 1 is installed in a branch pipe 4 with a fluid flow Q flowing against the single-orifice plate from the left. The single-hole plate 1 reduces the amount of the inflow fluid Q so that after the single-hole plate 1 a reduced volumetric flow rate q flows. The known single-hole restrictor plates of this type have very thin thicknesses of the order of 0.7 mm, which leads to a sudden slowing down of the volume flow rate due to a very sudden pressure drop, which leads to the formation of relatively strong vortex. These vortices often cause very loud noises, but this should be avoided as much as possible.

[0025] In order to prevent this noise generation due to the sudden pressu...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fluid throttle screen (2) for low-noise control of a fluid volume flow rate (Q) in a pipe and the use of such a throttle screen (2) in an aircraft climate control system. In addition, the present invention relates to a climate control system in an aircraft in whose pipe system at least one such throttle screen (2) is installed. The throttle screen (2) according to the present invention comprises multiple friction elements (3) extending longitudinally in the flow direction, which are situated at a distance to one another in such a way that a fluid is throttled continuously over the extension of the fluid throttle screen (2) as a result of friction on the individual friction elements (3).
