Abstract
The invention relates to a throttle element (100) for reducing the pressure of a process fluid, comprising a throttle body that has multiple throttle channels (104) through which the process fluid is to flow, wherein each throttle channel (104) has an upstream inlet opening (106), a channel section (108), and a downstream outlet opening (110) when viewed in the flow direction (S). The invention is characterized in that the inlet openings (106) are designed to have a truncated conical inlet region (106-1) which tapers in the flow direction (S) and a spherical region (106-2) adjoining said inlet region.

A throttle element (100) for reducing the pressure of a process fluid, comprising a throttle body that has multiple throttle channels (104) through which the process fluid is to flow, wherein, when viewed in the flow direction (S), each throttle channel (104) has an upstream inlet opening (106), a truncated conical inlet region (106-1), a hemispherical region (106-2), a channel section (108), and a downstream outlet opening (110), characterized in that the inlet openings (106) are designed to have the truncated conical inlet region (106-1) which tapers in the flow direction (S), and the hemispherical region (106-2) positioned between the truncated conical inlet region (106-1) and the throttle channel (104) for providing a uniform distribution of the process fluid for reducing cavitation and wear.
