  • Patent number: 8740178
    Abstract: A solenoid valve for controlling a fluid includes an armature having a base region, a lateral region and a head region. The solenoid valve includes a valve member connected to the armature. The solenoid valve further includes an armature casing component in which the armature is positioned. A flow path is formed between the armature and the armature casing component, the flow path extending from a lower armature space to an upper armature space and back to the lower armature space. A junction region is arranged between the head region and the lateral region. The junction region has at least one groove formed therein to facilitate an overflow between the lateral region and the head region.

  • Publication number: 20120313029
    Abstract: A valve for controlling a fluid includes a valve seat and a closing body which has a spherical-cap-shaped end region and which is configured to open up and close off a passage at the valve seat. The closing body is rotatably mounted on a bearing and has at least one contouring formed on a surface of the closing body. The contouring is configured to set the closing body in rotation.

  • Publication number: 20120211691
    Abstract: A valve for controlling a fluid includes a closing body and a valve seat. The closing body opens and closes a passage at the valve seat along a sealing line. The valve seat and the closing body have a rotationally symmetrical region where the sealing line between the valve seat and closing body is formed. The valve seat and/or the closing body also has a nonrotationally symmetrical region, which adjoins the rotationally symmetrical region in a throughflow direction of the valve.

  • Publication number: 20120161047
    Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a housing which extends in the axial direction and has at least one axial section which is embodied as a circular hollow cylinder, and a solenoid armature which is removably guided in the housing along a cylinder inner wall in an axial direction along the longitudinal axis of said housing and the solenoid armature having a solenoid armature casing wall. At least one axial flow duct for a medium is located in the housing and is provided to permit a flow around the solenoid armature. The flow duct has a first and a second duct wall region, and the first duct wall region is formed by a section of the cylinder inner wall and the second duct wall region is formed by a section of the solenoid armature casing wall. The second duct wall region is embodied as a planar second duct wall region.
