Abstract: The invention relates to a valve (10, 110) having a valve chamber (14, 114), having at least one inlet conduit (16, 116) and one outlet conduit (18, 118), furthermore having a movable lifting rod (34, 134), one end of which opens into an actuator (53), and having at least one valve member (36, 136, 236) secured to the lifting rod (34, 134), and having at least one valve seat (22, 122) cooperating with the valve member (36, 136, 236).

Abstract: A magnetic valve for a fluid-controlled heating and/or cooling installations has a valve housing, an electromagnetically switched valve member which in a first fixing position makes a connection between an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit and in a second switching position blocks the connection, a valve shaft provided with an armature and connected movably to the valve member, the valve shaft having a side which faces the valve member and is provided with a unit for slowing down a speed of the valve shaft upon closure of the valve member, the valve housing and the valve member being arranged so that a flow direction of a fluid around the valve member is opposite to a closing direction of the valve member.
