  • Patent number: 11713823
    Abstract: Example embodiments disclose a valve seat that encloses a fluid passage for passage of a fluid from a fluid chamber, and a holding element that exerts a holding force on a valve body, the holding force acting in a direction towards a valve seat. In the event that the fluid acts on an effective surface of the valve body with a force or a pressure above a limit value, the valve body moves away from the valve seat. In the event that the fluid acts on an effective surface of the holding element with a force or a pressure above a limit value, the holding force acting on the valve body decreases. In doing so, the fluid acts on the holding element more strongly and/or earlier than on the valve body.

  • Patent number: 11635153
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device (2) for interrupting a gas flow within a gas-conducting device (1). An inertia body (32) moves from a resting position in the case of an acceleration above a specifiable acceleration threshold value acting on it. Due to the movement, the inertia mechanism (3) activates a reaction mechanism (4), which interrupts the gas flow within the gas-conducting device (1). In this process, the safety device (2) is free of gas flowing through it.

  • Patent number: 10527188
    Abstract: A method for controlling the through-flow cross-section of a gas valve is described. The gas valve comprises a valve body in which a flow channel is provided, a valve element which can be displaced therein between a closed position and an opened position, an armature, a coil, a spring and a control circuit. For opening the flow channel, the control circuit excites the coil with a pulse width-modulated current, the pulse duty factor of which, starting from a starting value, is increased until the armature starts moving out of the closed position against the effect of the spring. Then, the control circuit reduces the pulse duty factor before the valve element has reached the opened position. The control circuit then sets the pulse duty factor at a predefined holding value with which the valve element is held in the opened position.
