Abstract

See full text

A pipe switch having a setting system, a housing and a closure element. The housing includes an inner wall in which a feed opening and at least two discharge openings are provided. The position of the closure element is rotatably changeable relative to the discharge openings. The setting system including a control and a drive controls the closure element such that a plurality of positions of the closure element relative to the discharge openings are realized accordingly. The closure element may be in the form of a slide or a two-part element having flaps. The setting system in cooperation with the closure system provides the plurality of positions of the closure element relative to the discharge openings, in each of which the sum of the cross-sectional areas of a first and of a second discharge opening not covered by the closure element is substantially constant.
