Abstract
A flow control device includes a body having an inner and an outer surface that oppose each other. The body may have a first opening and a second opening spaced from the first opening along a first axis. The inner surface may define a passage that extends from the first opening to the second opening along the first axis. The body may also include an inlet port between the first opening and the second opening, and a constriction in the passage between the first opening and the second opening. The flow control device may also comprise a nozzle disposed at least partially in the inlet port and extend at least partially across the passage along a second axis that is angularly offset with respect to the first axis. The nozzle may define an exit port in the passage.
