Disclosed is a method for controlling the volume of a fluid, e.g., air, moving through a duct system, e.g., a ventilating system for a vehicle, comprising the steps of moving the fluid through an inlet of the duct system under dynamic pressure; conducting the fluid through the duct system by means of propulsion system driven by an electric motor, wherein the electric current drawn by said motor varies with changes in the dynamic pressure; and adjusting the amount of fluid admitted into the duct system in response to the current drawn by the motor and thus, also responsive to the dynamic pressure, this adjusting step thereby maintaining a constant volume of fluid moving through the air duct system. Also disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out this method. |
