EXPANDABLE DIFFUSER

摘要

The invention relates to diffuser adapted for converting kinetic energy of a flowing fluid into pressure energy to reduce the flow velocity of said fluid. The diffuser comprises a diffuser body comprising a proximal end, a distal end. The diffuser also comprises a frame fabricated in a first frame material that is capable of changing from a pre-stimulus state to a post-stimulus state in response to a stimulus, whereby the diffuser changes from a first geometry to a second geometry.
