  • Publication number: 20180119586
    Abstract: A unit (10) for the regulation or control of a fluid pressure, having at least one housing section (13, 14) and a switching film (22) connected to the at least one housing section (13, 14) for switching at pressure differentials relative to an ambient pressure acting on the switching film (22), and for the regulation, release or blocking of a flow of the fluid between an inlet (28) and a discharge (30) for the fluid. The switching film (22) is made out of a polymer material having fluorine and carbon. In this arrangement, a hole cross-section (40) of the at least one housing section (13, 14) is closed off by the switching film (22). A method of forming a fluid-tight conntection is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180119660
    Abstract: The invention concerns a unit (10) for regulating or controlling a fluid pressure, with at least one housing part (13, 14) and a switching film (22) connected with the at least one housing part (13, 14) for switching at pressure differences of 1 to 250 mbar, preferably of 1 to 100 mbar, relative to an ambient pressure acting on the switching film (22) and for regulating, releasing or blocking a flow of the fluid between an inlet (28) and an outlet (30) for the fluid. The switching film (22) is formed of thermoplastic synthetic material. In this context, an opening cross section (40) of the at least one housing part (13, 14) is closed off by the switching film (22).

  • Publication number: 20180074527
    Abstract: A unit for regulating or controlling a fluid pressure has a valve housing with an inlet and an outlet. A switching film is disposed in the valve housing and switches at pressure differences of 1 mbar to 250 mbar for regulating, opening or blocking a flow of a fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The switching film is formed of a fluorine and carbon containing polymer material. The switching film has a plate-shaped flat body with a bending region and has a central closure region surrounded by the bending region. The bending region, when switching the switching film, moves the central closure region relative to a valve seat of the valve housing in an axial direction of the plate-shaped flat body toward or away from the valve seat by a low-stretch bending movement. A switching film for such a unit is provided also.

  • Publication number: 20170284244
    Abstract: A switching membrane for a pressure control valve has a plate-shaped flat body with a central area and a bending area surrounding the central area. The central area is provided with a closure area. For switching the switching membrane, the central area can be moved back and forth by a bending movement of the bending area in a direction transverse to an extension of the central area. At least the bending area is made of fluorocarbon rubber. A pressure control valve, especially for crankcase ventilation, is provided with a valve housing that has a housing cover and further is provided with a valve seat. A switching membrane as described above is disposed in the valve housing and switches at pressure differences of at most 500 mbar to release or shut off a flow of fluid at the valve seat.
