A fluid valve comprises a fluid conduit and a flow reducing device. The fluid conduit includes a fluid input end and a fluid output end. The flow reducing device comprises a first fluid passage and is configured to adjust the width of the first fluid passage. The first fluid passage has a narrow width over an extended flow distance that is delimited by internal walls that cause a pressure gradient in fluid passing through the first fluid passage. The flow reducing device further comprises a second fluid passage having a narrow width over an extended flow distance that is delimited by internal walls. The first fluid passage and the second fluid passage are parallel to each other. The flow reducing device further comprises a plurality of damping elements having surface portions parallel to each other. The facing surface portions of adjacent pairs of said damping elements define the internal walls delimiting the first and second fluid passages.

The invention claimed is: 1. A valve comprising: a tube with an axial input opening and a radial output opening; a flow reducing device having a damper surface facing said output opening for regulation of air flow through said tube; an actuator configured to adjust the distance between the damper surface of the flow reducing device and said output opening; a damper flange, which extends outwardly from edge of said output opening and defines a flange surface facing the damper surface, wherein an extended flow distance having a height between said flange surface and said damper surface is formed; and a damper disc that is configured to have a central recess, the damper disk essentially parallel to and between said damper flange and the flow reducing device to define parallel and extended flow passages with sub-openings between said flange surface and said damper surface. 2. The valve according to claim 1, further comprising a suspension element connected to the damper disk, the suspension element configured to limit height of the sub-opening for each flow passage to no more than a predetermined maximum height. 3. The valve according to claim 2, wherein the suspension element is further configured to position said damper disc adjacent at least one of said flange surface and said damper surface when the distance between said flange surface and said damper surface is less than said predetermined maximum height. 4. The valve according to claim 2, wherein the suspension element is further configured to position said damper disc at said predetermined maximum height from at least one of said flange surface and said damper surface when the distance between said flange surface and said damper surface is greater than said predetermined maximum height. 5. The valve according to claim 1, wherein said damper disc has a flat ring-shaped portion facing said flange surface of said damper flange, and further comprising means for varying a distance between the flange surface and said damper disc to adjust a width of the extended flow passages of said sub-openings and flow through the valve. 6. The valve according to claim 1, further comprising a plurality of damper discs in parallel between the damper flange and the flow reducing device. 7. The valve according to claim 6, further comprising means for limiting the distance between adjacent ones of said plurality of damper disks to said predetermined maximum height. 8. The valve according to claim 1, wherein said damper disc is mounted to said damper flange by a collapsing suspension element. 9. The valve according to claim 1, wherein said tube comprises a dynamic tube member with opened ends, displaccably arranged concentrically with said stationary tube member, wherein said actuator is configured to displace said dynamic tube member along the stationary tube member to adjust the distance between said output opening and said damper surface. 10. The valve according to claim 9, wherein said flow reducing device comprises spacer bars arranging the damper surface at a predetermined distance from said stationary tube member. 11. The valve according to claim 1, further comprising a suspension element connected to the damper disk, the suspension element configured to adjust height of the sub-opening for each flow passage simultaneously so as to adjust output fluid flow from the valve. 12. The valve as recited in claim 11, wherein the suspension element is further configured to adjust the height of the sub-opening for each flow passage at the same rate. 13. The valve according to claim 11, wherein the suspension element comprises a lever which interconnects the tube, the damper disk, and the flow reducing, device. 14. A valve comprising: a tube with an input opening and an output opening; a flow reducing device having a damper surface facing said output opening for regulation of air flow through said tube; an actuator entirely contained within said tube and configured to adjust the distance between the damper surface of the flow reducing device and said output opening; a damper flange, which extends outwardly from an edge of said output opening and defines a flange surface facing the damper surface, wherein an extended flow distance having a height between said flange surface and said damper surface is formed; and a damper disc that is configured to have a central recess, the damper disk essentially parallel to and between said damper flange and the flow reducing device to define parallel and extended flow passages with sub-openings between said flange surface and said damper surface.
