Abstract

A fluid flow restrictor having a resilient compressible body containing one or more fluid conductive passages is disclosed. The passages are of sufficient length with respect to their cross-sectional areas to insure laminar fluid flow therein when the body is in either a compressed or uncompressed state. The coefficient of restriction of the restrictor can be varied over a range of values, without altering the linearity of the fluid volume flow-to-pressure drop relationship thereof, by placing the body in various stages of compression.

However; the body. 10
may be of any desired cross-sectional shape such as rectangular. Extending through the-body 10 is; at least one fluid channel or passage 12. At the ends of the body l0'are a pair of terminals 14 through which a fluid can be introduced into and removedfrom the passages 12 by means of a pair of port fixtures l6. Fluid is introduced into the terminal 14 and thereafter apportioned between the passages 12 if more than one passage .12 e tists in proportion to the resistances offered by each of the passages 12 to theentry of the fluidtherein.
The-fluid flows through the passages 12, mikes together and is accumulated infthe enclosed region [[8 within the terminal 14 after which it flows out ofthe terminal 14 through the port .16.
In order that the restrictor or valve of the instant example provides a linear relationship I between fluid volume flow therein and pressure dropthereacross, it is necessary that fluid "flow in the passages 12 be laminar. As isw'ell known to those (skilled inthe art,1 laminar flow'properties require that the "length of s the passages 12 should' be relatively long in comparison to the cross*sectional are'afof the passages 12 so that nozzlelike-end effects are minimized, The limitsof length to cross-sectional area of the passages 12"which will permit laminar'flow thereincannot be stated withexactness as the roughness of the passage defining surfaces ofthe body 10, the.
viscosity of the particular fluid medium in use, the temperature of the fluid medium Reynolds Number. and a host of other well known variables allcontribute tothe nature of laminar fluid flow. .Where a large volume-flow capability is desired in "circumstances where the cross-sectional area-of the restrictor.havingavariable coefficient 'of restriction is provided having a .bo'cly of resilient compressible material c'on-.

Referring to FIG. 5, there is shown. the manner'in which the 'restrictor of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 can befabricated. A cylindrically shaped plastic tube 28 is provided as; a molding form through whichis drawn one or more wires 30'which are thereafter held stationary under sufficient tension to prevent them from bending or crimping. The number of wires .30 used corresponds to the number of passages 12 desired to be formed in the body type which will produce a resilient compressible material once the molding process is completed. A typical example of such material is Flexane, a urethane composition sold by the Devion Corporation of Danver, Massachusetts. The advantage in using Flexane is that it is curable at room temperature. The tube 28 has an inside diameter equal to the desired diameter of the body 10. The material of the mold or tube 22 is not critical and may be any suitable material which, when either coated or uncoated, will release from the material of body after it cures or sets. Flexane material is injected into the interior of the plastic tube 28 and permitted to cure or harden at room temperature. After curing is complete, the tube 28 is removed and the wires 30 are withdrawn leaving a compressible resilient body 10 of cylindrically shaped material having the desired fluid conductive passages therethrough.
The body 10 can just as well be molded in any desired shape such as in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped by the foregoing method. Any other material having suitable compressibility and resiliency can be used for the body 10 such as silicone rubber, rubber, or the like. Further, any suitable wirelike members 30 such as nylon thread, rigid cylindrically shaped rods of any material that will release from the body material, or the like can be used to form the passages 12 so long as their diameters are selected to provide the passages having the desired diameters.
