  • Patent number: 11892085
    Abstract: A heat exchanger valve includes a housing (2) having an inlet, an outlet a valve seat (5) on a valve seat member (24) between inlet and outlet, a valve element cooperating with the valve seat (5) and having a valve element axis, and presetting mechanism having a bushing (9) which is rotatable around the valve element axis and has an opening arrangement cooperating with a counter passage in the housing (2), wherein in the region of the opening arrangement the bushing (9) has a conical form cooperating with a conical counter face (13) and a distance is provided between the bushing (9) and the valve seat member (24). Such a heat exchanger valve should allow a precise pre-setting over a large range. To this end the bushing (9) has at least two notches (14) in an edge (10) facing the valve element member (24), each of the notches (14) forming an opening (25).

  • Patent number: 9316328
    Abstract: A valve actuator device (1) for a heating or cooling system valve (2) includes a motor (10) and control means (11), said motor (10) driving actuating means (8) provided for actuating a valve element (6), said control means (11) comprising presetting means (14) for performing a presetting function. The operation possibilities of such a valve actuator device should be increased. To this end, said control means comprise flushing means for performing a flush function, said flush function overriding said presetting function.

  • Patent number: 8235304
    Abstract: The invention concerns a control device for at least one heating, air-conditioning, ventilation or refrigeration system with a memory for a temperature control program and a signal outlet. It is endeavoured to simplify the programming. For this purpose, the memory is arranged in an element (5), which comprises a communication interface (6) and which can be dismounted from the control device, the communication interface (6) being connectable to an external input device and the control device (1) comprising an electrical supply device (3) which can transmit electrical energy to the element (5).
