  • Patent number: 9587608
    Abstract: A metering valve or an injector includes: a valve-seat member which closes a valve chamber and has a central valve opening, and a spray orifice disk downstream from the valve-seat member in the flow direction of the fluid, which has at least one spray orifice. The spray orifice disk has a swirl chamber concentric with the spray orifice and at least one swirl duct leading from the swirl chamber to beneath the valve opening, and the swirl chamber and swirl duct are integrally formed as recesses into the disk surface of the spray orifice disk facing the valve body. The swirl duct has a duct cross section and the spray orifice has an orifice cross section such that the ratio of the duct cross section to the orifice cross section is equal to or greater than 1.5.

  • Patent number: 8714465
    Abstract: A valve for atomizing fluid is specified, in particular an injection or metering valve for fuel injection or exhaust-gas systems of motor vehicles, which valve has a valve seat body (11) with a valve seat (14) which surrounds a valve opening (13), a perforated injection disc (17) which bears against the front side of the valve seat body (12) downstream of the valve opening (13) and has at least one spray hole (18) which is offset radially with respect to the valve opening (13), and an inflow cavity (19) which is present between the valve opening (13) and the at least one spray hole (18).
