Abstract
A flow regulator for regulating flow of a fluid includes a flow-attenuating labyrinth formed at least in part by a plurality of baffles. At least some of the baffles are implemented as leaf-spring portions, preferably made from metallic material, which are deployed so as to be free to flex in response to variations in a pressure exerted on the leaf-spring portion by the fluid. The leaf-spring portions are configured to cooperate with an adjacent surface to provide multiple-stage pressure-responsive flow regulation.
