Definitions
- the present invention relates to the regulation of fluids in a circuit such as a fluid distribution circuit.
- the invention also relates to a filling installation comprising a liquid reservoir connected to a filling machine of containers by this distribution line.
- FIG. 4 is a detail view of FIG.
- the filling installation comprises a filling machine 100 connected to a liquid reservoir 200 via a distribution line.
- the distribution line includes in series a variable flow pump 300 and a control device, generally designated at 400, downstream of the pump 300.
- the pump 300 and the regulation device are connected to a control unit 500 programmed to drive the pump 300 from a signal from the control device 400.
- the filling machine 100, the liquid tank 200 and the pump 300 are known per se and will not be detailed here.
- the inner tube 3 comprises a tubular wall of elastomeric material having ends engaged and fixed respectively to an upstream tubular nozzle 2.1 and a downstream tubular nozzle 2.2.
- the tubular ends 2.1, 2.2 are both rigid and allow the attachment of the elastomer wall to the covers 6.1, 6.2.
- the ends of the elastomer wall of the inner tube 3 each comprise an external lateral projection flange (only the rim 30.2 of the downstream end is visible in FIG. 4) covering one face of an outer flange of the corresponding tubular endpiece. (Only the collar of the tubular end-piece downstream 2.2 is visible).
