Abstract
The invention relates to a flow regulator (1) having a flow regulator housing, with a rotor disk (9) being supported in a rotary fashion in the interior space of its housing, which is embodied at least in a partial section of the disk in a liquid-permeable fashion and (9) is in a driven connection with a rotor disk drive, which transfers the flow of the water flowing through the flow regulator housing into a rotary drive force used for a rotary motion of the rotor disk (9). Using the flow regulator according to the invention considerable water savings can be achieved without here any reduction of the volume flow being clearly discernible.
Claims19
A flow regulator (1), having an upstream inlet portion and a downstream outlet portion, comprising a flow regulator housing, with a rotor disk (9) being rotationally supported in an interior space of the housing, the rotor disk (9) is liquid permeable at least in a partial section of the disk and is driven by a driving force that converts a flow of water flowing through the flow regulator housing into a rotational driving force for a rotary motion of the rotor disk (9) wherein the rotor disk (9) comprises at least one flow hole (10) having a longitudinal axis tilted diagonally in reference to a rotary axis such that water flowing through the at least one diagonally tilted flow hole (10) enacts the rotational driving force upon the rotor disk (9), at least one drive blade projects from the rotor disk at at least one of an upstream or a downstream side, that is arranged in reference to a plane of the rotor blade in a diagonal fashion such that water impinging the at least one drive blade enacts the rotational driving force upon the rotor disk and wherein the rotor disk (9) is directly followed downstream by a jet splitter (4).
