  • Patent number: 10041608
    Abstract: Switching valve for controlling a mass flow in a cold or hot circuit. The valve includes a valve housing having a feed opening and a discharge opening; a valve piston which has a valve-closure member directed towards the discharge opening and which, in a closed position, abuts a valve seat of a through-bore between the feed opening and the discharge opening; a pilot valve having a pilot bore in the valve piston, which bore opens into the through-bore and traverses the valve piston; a path-generating device having an actuatable ram accommodating a closure member which closes the pilot bore and, with the closure member, can be moved into an opening position which opens the pilot bore; and a bypass duct formed between the feed opening and the pilot bore. At least one connection element forcibly transfers at least some of the stroke movement of the ram onto the valve piston.

  • Publication number: 20070295016
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an expansion valve, in particular for vehicle air-conditioning systems operated with CO2 as the refrigerant, with a valve housing which has a feed opening and a removal opening, with a valve-closing member which closes a valve seat of a passage opening arranged between the feed and removal openings, and with a resetting device which acts in the closing direction of the valve-closing member, an adjusting element, which is assigned to the valve-closing member, on the low-pressure side being activated via a predetermined threshold value as the low pressure rises or as the temperature on the low-pressure side rises and actuates at least one actuating element by means of which a closing force of the resetting device acting on the valve-closing member is reduced such that a passage opening is enlarged or a passage of a bypass valve arranged on the low-pressure side, which passage is arranged parallel to the passage opening, is opened.
