  • Linear control valve
    Patent number: 10816096
    Abstract: To achieve a compactly designed, simple and robust control valve for a hydrodynamic torque generator which is linear over a wide adjustment range, the control channel (12) of the control valve is formed in such a way that a substantially linear relationship between valve position (?) and flow ({dot over (V)}) is achieved by rotating the valve body (6) between a first valve position (?1), which differs from the closed position, and a second valve position (?2) with a larger flow ({dot over (V)}) than in the first position (?1).
