  • Patent number: 11960307
    Abstract: A pressure control valve for gases and/or liquids comprising a first sealing body and a second sealing body for opening and closing a first flow path and a second flow path, respectively. The first and the second sealing bodies can be installed in an inflow for gases and/or liquids in order to define the first and the second flow paths therein. The first sealing body is guided in an axially movable fashion. The second sealing body is guided in an axially movable fashion within the first sealing body. The first sealing body is movable by a force in the effective direction from an outflow to an inflow from a closing position into an opening position in which the first flow path is opened. The second sealing body is movable by a force in the effective direction from the outflow to the inflow from a closing position into an opening position in which the second flow path is opened.

  • Publication number: 20220290770
    Abstract: A combination valve including an electromagnetic shut-off valve and an integrated pipe-break protection includes an inflow and an outflow, between which a first flow path is defined, a sealing surface arranged in the first flow path, a movable sealing body including a main seat and a pilot seat, between which a pilot bore is defined as a second flow path, a closing spring, an armature with a sealing surface and a magnetic coil. The sealing body closes the first flow path in the closed position by abutting the main seat against the sealing surface and closes the second flow path by abutting the sealing surface against the pilot seat. The closing spring presses the sealing surface of the armature against the pilot seat of the sealing body and the main seat of the sealing body against the sealing surface. An opening spring presses the sealing body into the open position.

  • Patent number: 9541213
    Abstract: An electromagnetic valve for a pressure container and which includes a manual shut-off of the valve, a stop, and an electromagnetic shut-off of the valve with a sealing element, a magnet coil, a tappet, and a spring element. When the magnet coil has been currentlessly switched and deactivated, the tappet pressed against the sealing element by the spring element presses the sealing element onto a second opening so as to suppress a fluidic connection from the pressure container. Also, when the magnet coil is activated, the tappet can be moved away from the sealing element as far as the stop, such that the fluidic connection can be released.

  • Patent number: 9366357
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromagnetic valve for a tank valve of a fuel supply system of a gas fuel motor vehicle, comprising a magnetic coil with an inner guide, and a magnetic armature which can move axially in the inner guide. The magnetic anchor consists of an anchor, a seal element which is arranged between the anchor and a fuel inlet, and a counter pole which abuts the seal element. The present invention also relates to such a tank valve and to a fuel supply system having such an electromagnetic valve.

  • Publication number: 20140042352
    Abstract: A solenoid valve for a pressure container, that includes a valve housing and a valve base member having a first opening for directing the fluid into and/or out of a pressure container and a second opening for directing the fluid into or out of the valve. The valve is constructed in such a manner that only a small application of force has to be provided in order to move a sealing element from its seat and to release a direct connection between a first opening for directing the fluid into and out of the pressure container and a second opening for directing the fluid into and out of the valve. The fluid is directed through the first opening into a space which extends between a tappet and the sealing element, whereby a pressure is built up in the space and a first positioning path travels by the tappet when an magnetic coil is activated so that the through-hole of the sealing element is released and the sealing element retains its position.

  • Patent number: 8403169
    Abstract: A tank for cryogenic liquids, which is intended for installation in motor vehicles and which consists of an outer container and of an inner container suspended in the latter in tension or compression struts. In order to take the contrasting requirements in motor vehicles into account in an optimum way, between the outer container and inner container abutments and supporting faces are additionally provided, which can be spaced apart from one another when the vehicle is at a standstill and can be brought to bear when the vehicle is driving. The abutments inside the outer container Co.-operate with supporting faces on the inner container and can be displaced by means of an actuator.
