Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1099914A1] A disc in which are air-passages can be twisted in relation to a sheet metal (3) basic body(2). Air-chambers are formed by means of partition elements between the basic body and the disc. Outlet slits in the basic body belong to the air chambers (49). The partition elements are in the form of air-guide elements (9,10) defining the flow paths (48) which have a constant cross-section along their length. Each air chamber has an outlet slit (5,6).
