Patent attributes
The invention relates to a backflow preventer (1) integrateable into a gas or liquid pipeline (2). The inventive backflow preventer consists of a closing body (3) which is embodied in the form of a hollow body which is open on a drainage side thereof and defines a passage channel (5) between itself and the central counterpart (4) opposite thereto. Said closing body (3) is displaceable by a flow medium flowing through the passage channel (5) in a flow direction (Pf 1) from a sealing contact thereof with said counter part (4) of the closing body to the open position thereof against the opposing force of elasticity and o r stability thereof. Said backflow preventer (1) is easily producible even with a small number of components and is characterised by a high flow and low pressure loss.
