Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0787954A2] The injector has several of outlet channels (4) in the leading wall (3) of a housing (2). These give a low turbulence air flow. The channels have a greater length than the dimensions of their cross section. The flow profile (5,6) of the total flow from the openings allows differing permeability and or loading at the outlet wall (3) of the housing.
