Abstract
A separating wall for dividing a heating volume of a power circuit into a first sub-volume and a second sub-volume. The separating wall is formed with at least one wall opening which allows a flow of gas between the sub-volumes. The wall opening has an aerodynamically active opening surface based on a pressure difference between a pressure in the first sub-volume and a pressure in the second sub-volume.
Claims12
A separating wall for dividing a heating volume of a power circuit, the separating wall comprising:
- a separating wall structure disposed to divide the heating volume into a first sub-volume and a second sub-volume;
- said separating wall structure being formed with at least one wall opening which enables a gas flow between said first and second sub-volumes;
- said wall opening having an aerodynamically effective opening area which is a function of a pressure differential between a pressure in the first sub-volume and a pressure in the second sub-volume;
- and
- said at least one wall opening being configured as a meandering flow duct between said first and second sub-volumes, and said meandering flow duct having a flow resistance element configured to be elastically deflected by a gas flow flowing in said flow duct.

- a separating wall structure disposed to divide the heating volume into a first sub-volume and a second sub-volume;
- said separating wall structure being formed with at least one wall opening which enables a gas flow between said first and second sub-volumes;
- and
- said wall opening having an aerodynamically effective opening area which is a function of a pressure differential between a pressure in the first sub-volume and a pressure in the second sub-volume;
- and
- at least one wall reinforcement embedded in said separating wall structure, said at least one wall reinforcement being made of a reinforcement material which is of a greater strength than a surrounding material in which said wall reinforcement is embedded.
