VALVULA PARA CONTROLAR UN FLUIDO

Una válvula (100) para controlar un flujo de un fluido entre un primer entorno (E101) y un segundo entorno (E102), comprendiendo dicha válvula: - un bastidor (114) adaptado para ajustar dentro de un perímetro de una abertura (118) en un divisor (122) que separa el primer entorno (E101) del segundo entorno (E102), - una primera compuerta (130) móvil dentro del bastidor (114) para controlar un flujo del fluido a través de la abertura (118) entre el primer entorno (E101) y el segundo entorno (E102), comprendiendo la primera compuerta (130) un borde trasero (142) que comprende un deflector (159) adaptado para cubrir un borde trasero del bastidor (114) cuando la primera compuerta (130) está en una posición abierta, incluyendo el deflector (159) una pluralidad de muescas 3-D (160) en un lado delantero (146) del deflector (159); y - una segunda compuerta (174) móvil dentro del bastidor (114) para controlar un flujo del fluido a través de la abertura (118) entre el primer entorno (E101) y el segundo entorno (E102), comprendiendo la segunda compuerta (174) un borde trasero (186) que comprende una pluralidad de muescas 3-D (218) en un lado delantero (194) del borde trasero (186). A valve is provided for controlling a flow of a fluid between a first environment and a second environment. The valve includes a frame adapted to fit within a perimeter of an aperture in a divider separating the first environment from the second environment. The valve additionally includes a first gate movable within the frame to control a flow of the fluid through the aperture between the first environment and the second environment. The first gate includes a substantially aerodynamically clean surface substantially free from protrusions disrupting the flow of the fluid over the first gate surface. Additionally, the first gate includes a trailing edge having a baffle adapted to cover an aft edge of the frame when the first gate is positioned to have a small opening angle. The baffle includes a plurality of 3-D notches in a front side of the baffle. The valve further includes a second gate movable within the frame to control a flow of the fluid through the aperture between the first environment and the second environment. The second gate also includes a substantially aerodynamically clean surface substantially free from protrusions disrupting the flow of the fluid over the second gate surface. Additionally, the second gate includes a trailing edge comprising a plurality of 3-D notches in a
