ABSTRACT:
A fluid flow regulator controls the amount of fluid flow or pressure of the fluid flowing through the regulator by producing an impedance to flow through the regulator which varies in relationship to the pressure differential across the regulator and which also varies in relationship to an acceleration in the fluid flowing through the regulator. The regulator has a shape which produces an acceleration in the fluid flowing through the regulator to cause the flow itself to vary the impedance to flow through the regulator.
In a specific embodiment the fluid flow regulator is a vortex chamber and can be used as a replacement for existing, mechanical PCV valves for internal combustion engines. The flow regulator of the present invention provides a variable orifice valve function without any moving parts.
