Claim 0:
1. A removal device for removing gas bubbles and/or dirt particles from a liquid in a liquid conduit system, the removal device comprising:
a main channel for a main flow, the main channel having an entry and an exit which are configured to be connected to the conduit system,
a housing which defines an inner space, wherein the housing is arranged adjacent the main channel,
at least one supply channel extending from the main channel to the inner space,
at least one return channel extending from the inner space back to the main channel, and
a branch flow control member positioned in the main channel, the branch flow control member being movable between a first position in which the branch flow control member is constructed to define a first path configured to branch off at least a part of the incoming main flow into the inner space via the supply channel, and a second position, in which the branch flow control member is constructed to define a second path configured to allow a part of the incoming main flow to flow from the entry to the exit without being branched off into the inner space and to branch off at least a part of the incoming main flow into the inner space via the supply channel, wherein in the first position the branch flow control member is constructed to branch off a larger part of the incoming main flow into the inner space via the supply channel than in the second position.
