1. Overview
1.1 Short descriprion
Fig. 1: Flow limiter BF
The flow limiters of the series BA, BB, BC and BF
limit the flow of water through pipelines. They
keep the flow rate constant in case of fluctuations
in the flow rate. The flow limiters operate purely
on a mechanical principle and do not require any
auxiliary electrical energy.
The flow limiters use a regulating star. This
regulating star is deflected if the pressure
difference in the device increases. This limits the
cross-section where the flow can pass through.
The flow limiters work in a control pressure range
between 2 and 10 bar / 29 and 145 psi.
