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.

Abstract: A pressure reducer having a high pressure inlet, a low-pressure outlet and a valve having a valve seat and a cooperating movable piston valve. With displacement of the piston valve away from the valve seat, a path between the high pressure inlet and the low pressure outlet is opened. In addition, a closing force caused by a low pressure acts on the piston valve towards the valve seat during operation of the pressure reducer. A spring is also provided for the purpose of exerting an actuating force on the piston valve to move away from the valve seat in the valve opening direction. A solenoid coil is configured to exercise a magnetic force superimposed on the closing force or the actuation force acting on the valve piston.
