DEVICE FORMING AN ELECTRONIC REGULATOR OF A FLUID FLOW

摘要

The invention concerns a device constituting a converter of pneumatic or hydraulic energy into electric power, consisting of a pneumatic or hydraulic motor driven by a fluid under pressure and associated with an electric generator connected to an automatic control circuit including means (R, C) for directly regulating the fluid flow delivered by the device, without requiring the addition of an external mechanical regulating member for the supplementary flow, and by controlling an electrical parameter (voltage (V), current (i) or one of their combinations) at the generator terminals. Preferably, said controlled parameter for regulating the flow is the total electric power consumed at the generator terminals. The invention is characterised in that the automatic control circuit comprises means for storing electric power, such as a capacitor (C) or a battery, a circuit controlling (2) the speed of the supply or the charge of the electric power storage means, a supply circuit (3) delivering a constant voltage from the electric power storage means (C), and adjustable means (R) for inductive dissipation of electric power for regulating the electric power consumed.
