Abstract
A fluid amplifier is presented. The fluid amplifier comprises at least one control valve for controlling at least one of a first control fluid flow and a second control fluid flow.

The control valve also includes a diaphragm for isolating the moveable element.
Claims8
A fluid amplifier comprising:
- an interaction chamber;
- an upstream conduit for issuing a power stream flow into the interaction chamber;
- a plurality of output channels located downstream of the interaction chamber;
- a first control stream channel in fluid communication with the interaction chamber for controllably directing a first control fluid flow into the interaction region;
- a second control stream channel in fluid communication with the interaction chamber for controllably directing a second control fluid flow into the interaction region;
- and,
- at least one control valve for controlling at least one of the first control fluid flow and the second control fluid flow, the at least one control valve having a movable element for selectively opening and closing at least one of the first control stream channel and the second control stream channel, and a diaphragm for isolating the moveable element.
