Abstract
The present invention concerns an adjustment mechanism (200) for variable adjustment of an inlet cross-section (321) of a compressor inlet (322). The adjustment mechanism comprises a plurality of rotatably mounted baffle elements (210) which are arranged in a circumferential direction (26) and are adjustable between a first position and a second position. At least one baffle element (210) of the plurality of baffle elements (210) comprises an eddy-reducing feature (220).
