  • Patent number: 8739828
    Abstract: A double seat valve for separating media includes a housing having a first connector for a first pipeline and a second connector for a second pipeline, a first closing member of the first connector and a first closing member seat assigned thereto, the first closing member in closed position cooperating in sealing manner with the first closing member seat via at least one sealing element, a second closing member of the second connector axially spaced from the first closing member, and a second closing member seat assigned to the second closing member, the second closing member in closed position cooperating in sealing manner with the second closing member seat via at least one sealing element. The two closing members can be lifted independently of one another from their respective closing member seats. A leakage space is also provided between the two closing members and discharges into a leakage outlet.

  • Patent number: 8622069
    Abstract: A valve device for connecting two conduits in a unit for conducting a product comprises a first shut-off member and a second shut-off member and a first leakage space between the first and the second shut-off members, a first connection for one of the two conduits on a side of the first shut-off member facing away from the leakage space, and a second connection for the other of the two conduits on the side of the second shut-off member facing away from the leakage space. A third shut-off member and a fourth shut-off member and a second leakage space are present between the third and the fourth shut-off members, wherein a central third leakage space is present between the second and the third shut-off members, and wherein the second connection for the other of the two conduits is arranged on a side of the fourth shut-off member facing away from the second leakage space.

  • Patent number: 8616525
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve for separating product media in pipes of a product-carrying system. The valve comprises a valve housing and a valve body arranged in a valve housing interior. The valve has a drive element which is movable in the axial direction, is connected to the valve body and is intended for moving the valve body. The valve further comprises a sealing diaphragm for sealing a valve housing interior on the drive side. The sealing diaphragm has a radially extending diaphragm body with a radially inner opening through which the drive element reaches. The diaphragm body has a radially outer edge region and a radially inner edge region which surrounds the radially inner opening. The radially outer edge region is clamped radially and the radially inner edge region is clamped axially. The sealing diaphragm is manufactured from a dimensionally stable material which is thermally resistant up to at least approximately 130° C.

  • Patent number: 7950411
    Abstract: A pipe branching arrangement, in particular for a tank farm system, comprises an at least approximately vertically extending hollow body which has at least one lateral connector, further comprising at least one mixproof valve which sits on the connector and produces a closable connection between the hollow body and at least one pipeline. The valve has two closing members, between which there is a leakage space which has a leakage outlet opening, the leakage space having a circumferential wall which extends from an inlet on the connector side to the leakage outlet opening on the outlet side, which is at a distance from the inlet. The circumferential wall has a decline on the gravitational force side of the leakage space in direction to the leakage outlet opening.

  • Patent number: 7891376
    Abstract: A double seat valve includes a flow barrier element arranged between first and second closing elements. The flow barrier element shadows a first sealing element and/or a first closing element seat of the first closing element which is in a closed position, when the second closing element is lifted and when a cleaning medium is applied to a leakage space, the flow barrier element preventing the cleaning medium from flowing directly against the first sealing element and/or the first closing element seat. The flow barrier element also shadows a second sealing element and/or a second closing element seat of the second closing element which is in a closed position, when the first closing element is lifted and when a cleaning medium is applied to the leakage space, the flow barrier element preventing the cleaning medium from flowing directly against the second sealing element and/or the second closing element seat.

  • Patent number: 7530368
    Abstract: An aseptic valve device for the separation of hostile media including a housing which has connection pieces, each of specific opening cross section, for at least two pipelines which can communicate with one another in the housing via a connecting orifice of specific opening cross section, and a valve arrangement for the selective closing and release of the connecting orifice, the valve arrangement having at least one valve seat and at least one valve disk, the valve disk having a sealing face cooperating with the valve seat and a middle connecting portion which is connected to a valve stem, and the valve disk having a tubular extension which serves for the outflow of a medium, and a drainage portion extending obliquely or orthogonally with respect to the plane spanned by the sealing face of the valve disk and has a plurality of drainage orifices.
