March 21, 2012
The line element (1) has a housing (3) i.e. annular sleeve, radially surrounding a fluid line (2) in a fluid-tight manner. An annular space (4) is designed between the fluid line and the housing. The annular space is partially filled with compressible medium e.g. closed pore foam. The fluid line includes an opening (13) within the annular space. The opening is spaced at a distance to annular flanges (5, 6) of the annular space. The compressible medium includes an elastic container, where compressible fluid i.e. air, in enclosed in the container.
