Abstract
A device for controlling feed of fluid to equipment, such as a heat exchanger, the device including: a fluid slide valve mounted in a fluid circuit including a slide movable between two positions, a first position in which it allows the fluid to flow through the equipment, and a second position in which it prevents the fluid from flowing through the equipment; a laminar flow constriction arranged in the fluid circuit upstream from the slide valve; and a drive mechanism moving the slide of the slide valve between its two positions by head loss of the fluid in the laminar flow constriction.
