Abstract
A device for controlling a gas flow through a passage includes a plurality of pivotable gas flow control vanes. The pivot axes of a first and a second adjacent vane are spaced so that a trailing edge of the first vane overlaps a leading edge of the second vane when the first and second adjacent vanes are positioned in a first mutual end state for substantially restricting the gas flow through the passage. The second vane includes a recess with such a shape that the trailing edge of the first vane is at least partly received in the recess when the first and second adjacent vanes are positioned in the first mutual end state.
