Abstract
A valve system for controlling the fluid flow in a duct, includes: a valve body adapted to be inserted in an interruption of the duct, and provided with an inlet and an outlet for a flow of fluid in the duct, a lateral flow valve, developing substantially transversally in the duct, placed in the valve body upstream of the fluid flow, the valve having an obstructer capable of moving transversally in the duct to 'laterally' interrupt part of the fluid flow in the duct, an actuator adapted to move the obstructer from a first position, in which the duct is fully open, to a second position, in which the duct is fully closed, a rotor shaped substantially as a turbine, placed inside the valve body downstream of the valve with respect to the fluid flow, the rotor being located at a distance from the valve comprised within a pressure recovery zone, the pressure being generated by the valve in the absence of the turbine.
