Abstract
A fluid pressure regulator includes at least one fluid inlet conduit for connection to a pressurised fluid source, an outlet conduit. and an elastically expansible chamber arranged between the at least one fluid inlet conduit and the outlet conduit. The elastically expansible chamber being configured to elastically deform the at least one fluid inlet conduit upon expansion to modify the cross sectional area of the at least one fluid inlet conduit.
Claims15
A fluid pressure regulator comprising:
- at least one fluid inlet conduit for connection to a pressurised fluid source;
- an outlet conduit;
- and
- an elastically expansible chamber arranged between and fluidly connected in series to the at least one fluid inlet conduit and the outlet conduit, such that the elastically expansible chamber is configured to receive fluid from the fluid inlet conduit at one side of the elastically expansible chamber and to expel fluid to the outlet conduit at an opposite side of the elastically expansible chamber, the elastically expansible chamber being configured to elastically deform the at least one fluid inlet conduit upon expansion to modify the cross sectional area of the at least one fluid inlet conduit;
- wherein the expansible chamber comprises a balloon and wherein the expansible chamber before expansion has a cross-sectional area larger than the cross-sectional area of the inlet and outlet conduits.
