Abstract

A ventilation inlet including a conduit (104) arranged to convey flow from a first flow zone to a second flow zone. The conduit has a mouth region (106) presenting to the first flow zone an entrance aperture to receive the flow therefrom. The conduit has a baffle (114) spanning a portion of the conduit to define a throat region (116), the throat region being narrower than the entrance aperture. The throat region (116) is movable along the conduit (104) to control the flow through the ventilation inlet.
