15.2 Manual Flow Control
Another possibility is to fit a simple manual flow control (flow restrictor) to the
outlet of the ICM.
•
This should only be done where the available pressure is less than twice the
maximum value calculated. This is because the small orifice size needed to
control the flow from a pressure larger than this has a risk of blockage.
•
The flow controller must be fitted to the outlet only. If fitted to the inlet it will
have a filtering effect.
•
The flow controller must be fitted directly to the ICM outlet port.
15.3 Active Flow Control
This is only needed for operation at high differential pressures, where a too-high
flow would otherwise be generated.
