German term or phrase: Abnahmevolumenstrom

Bei auftretenden Druckschwankungen beim Ausgangsdruck oder Abnahmevolumenstrom wird durch mehr Öffnen oder Schließen des Ventils, im Sinne einer Angleichung des Istwertes (Ausgangsdruck) an den Sollwert der Druck angeglichen.

Am not very happy with my current translation, which is "decreasing volumetric flow", but haven't been able to find anything more reliable. The context is a glass coating system.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

(volumetric) discharge flow rate

Explanation:
This seems to be "Abnahme" in the sense of "discharge/delivery", rather than "decrease". See, for example, http://rainer-sielker.de/Grubengas/grubengas.htm ("Beim Betrieb der Förderanlage wird die Klappe so geregelt, dass bei einer Entgasungsrate, die höher ist als der Abnahmevolumenstrom durch die Förderanlage, der Gasüberschuss an die Atmosphäre abgeführt wird.")
