Abstract: A device for adjusting a constant air volume flow has air guiding members which extend in a radial direction and in a state distributed about a longitudinal center axis of the device. Between adjacent air guiding members there are formed air passages which can be adjusted in terms of their opening cross section. The air guiding members are formed from a first and a second air guiding unit in each case. By rotating the first air guiding unit relative to the second air guiding unit, the opening cross section of the air passages can be changed. The air guiding units are constructed in such a manner that the air guiding member formed thereby has a closed and curved surface at least at the inflow side. This enables a change of the free flow cross section, wherein the location of the narrowest flow cross section is consistent at different adjustment positions.
