ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a fluid diode comprising a chamber between a supply pipe and a discharge pipe, in which chamber there are present balls within a space defined by two grids. The grids and balls are such that the grid at the side of the supply pipe with certainty can be shut off almost completely when a reverse flow occurs, whereas the other grid never can be shut off by the balls. A preferred embodiment is given in FIG. 1. The grid at the side of the discharge pipe may also be a perforated plate provided with bulges of different heights.
