  • Patent number: 11732808
    Abstract: An explosion protection valve for decoupling system parts or workpieces for the installation in a pipeline, comprising a housing, a closing body which is axially guided inside the housing on a guide rod and can be shifted from a defined open position into a sealing closed position in the event of a pressure or suction wave in the pipeline in at least one closing movement direction, a spring assembly, which is in operative connection to the closing body, on the guide rod for holding the closing body in the open position, a sealing ring on the inner side of the housing, against which the closing body can be pressed in its closed position, and a receiving pocket, which is applied to the inner side of the housing and is preferably open counter to the closing movement direction (SB) of the closing body, for holding the sealing ring.
