PRESSURE-FLOW CHARACTERISTICS

The pressure flow characteristics of the adjustable differential pres-
sure unit in the proGAV 2.0 are shown as an example for pressure
levels 0, 10 and 20 cmH O in the horizontal valve position below.

Vertical valve position
The opening pressure of the proGAV 2.0 in the vertical position
is the sum of the opening pressure of the adjustable DP-unit and
the gravitational unit.
The following diagrams (see fg. 21) show the pressure-flow-cha-
racteristics for some pressure settings in the vertical body position.
The total opening pressure refers to a reference flow of 5 ml/h.
When the flow rates reach 20 ml/h, the opening pressures are ap-
proximately 1-2 cmH O higher.
