  • Patent number: 10253888
    Abstract: A flow control valve includes a valve body with inlet and outlet ports, and an intermediate chamber therebetween. The valve further includes a static flow rate regulator for the fluid, accessible from outside the valve body and adapted to vary the cross-section of a passage orifice between the inlet and the outlet of the valve. The valve further includes a dynamic flow rate balancer, regulating flow rate based on a change of the incoming flow rate. The flow rate balancer includes a perforated element interposed between the inlet port and the intermediate chamber, allowing fluid passage only through at least one opening of the perforated element and an elastic element at one face of the perforated element facing the inlet port of the fluid into the valve body. An increase in the inlet/outlet differential pressure corresponds to an enlargement of the elastic element, guaranteeing a constant flow rate.
