Abstract
A system and method for regulating a flow of a fluid, wherein the system comprises a regulating device and a central axis, wherein the regulating device is adapted to establish at least one through-passage opening for the fluid, wherein a normal vector of a cross sectional area of the at least one through-passage opening is oriented parallel to the axis, wherein a size of the cross-sectional area is adjusted in dependence on the rotary speed of the regulating device turning about the central axis.
Claims10
A system for regulating a flow of a fluid, the system comprising:
- a carrier body having at least one recess and being configured to rotate about a central axis;
- and
- a regulating device provided in the at least one recess of the carrier body, the regulating device including a main body made of elastically deformable material which is centered about the central axis, wherein the regulating device is adapted to establish at least one through-passage opening for the fluid, wherein a normal vector of a cross sectional area of the at least one through-passage opening is oriented parallel to the central axis, and wherein a size of the cross sectional area is adjusted in dependence on a rotary speed of the regulating device turning about the central axis.
