Abstract: The invention relates to a shut-off device for valve systems of industrial plants, in particular of chemical and petrochemical plants, with a disc (12) to shut off an opening for a fluid flow and with a seal seat (13a). The invention is characterised in that the disc (12) is arranged between the seal seat and a pressing means (26) to subject the disc (12) to a pressing force and can be pressed by the pressing means (26) against the seal seat (13a), wherein the pressing means (26) has in a housing (10) a plurality of pistons (48) and a transmission element for transmitting the pressing force to the disc (12), the transmission element being arranged between the pistons (48) and the disc (12) and extending along the disc circumference, and wherein the pistons (48) are fluidically connected by a feed line (49) for hydraulic fluid.

Abstract: A double-plate gate valve is provided for fittings of industrial plants wherein the double-plate gate valve comprises a housing having two shut-off plates inside the housing the shut-off plates being displaceable between an open and a closed position. Spring elements, such as disc spring packs, are arranged between the shut-off plates pressing the shut-off plates in the closed position against sealing surfaces arranged on the housing such that the entire sealing force required for sealing is provided by the spring elements. Also provided in stand-alone form is a shut-off plate for use in the double-plate gate valve. A method for sealing the double-plate gate valve using the shut-off plates is also provided.

Abstract: A triple sealing seat is provided in a conduit gate valve having at least one shut-off plate which is displaceable between an open and closed position with respect to the conduit. The triple sealing seat forms a substantially annular sealing surface. In order to increase the tightness, the annular sealing surface comprises a radial interior sealing and scraping edge which can be contacted with the shut-off plate during operation. Also provided is a first circumferential groove located radially further outside which is in communication with a first gas channel and to which a sealing gas pressure can be applied. Also provided is a second circumferential groove located radially further outside which is in communication with a second gas channel and to which a sealing gas pressure can be applied.
