Abstract: There is described a pressure regulating valve for a refrigerating plant, having a slider member that can be moved relative to a guide by means of a drive device, with variable throttle resistance being created between the guide and the slider member. The purpose of such a valve is to be able to control refrigerant over a relatively large throughput range, and the valve should be able to be manufactured inexpensively. For that purpose, the slider member and the guide co-operate in two sections of their movement relative to one another according to different valve principles.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve assembly having upper and lower modules. A standardized lower module can be joined with one of several upper modules having a different axial length for varying the magnetic field strength of a coil arrangement in the upper module without changing the length or position of an armature tube in the lower module.

Abstract: An electromagnetic valve assembly having a valve unit with a valve seat and a coil arrangement. An armature is slidably disposed in the bore of the coil arrangement and has one end cooperable with a core head to form an air gap and at the other end a closure device cooperable with the valve seat. The closure device has a ring shaped mounting part attached to the armature and a closure element in the form of a radially inwardly extending tongue-like part which is resiliently connected to the mounting part and is cooperable with the valve seat to maximize the operating effects of the coil arrangement.
