  • Publication number: 20240084918
    Abstract: The presently disclosed invention relates to a hydrogen valve having a valve housing with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The hydrogen valve includes a valve main body which is configured to be transferable between an open position, in which a volumetric flow connection is established between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and a closed position, in which the valve main body is arranged in a main sealing seat fixed to the housing and the volumetric flow connection between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet is closed. Also included is a pilot control valve device having a pilot member which is transferable by way of an actuator between an open position in which a throttle bore is exposed through the valve main body and connects the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet to each other and a closed position, in which the pilot member rests in a pilot control valve seat arranged on the valve main body and closes the throttle bore.

  • Publication number: 20230407888
    Abstract: A jet pump configured to control a feed of a gaseous medium, the jet pump comprising: a primary nozzle configured to feed a propellant and including a nozzle body and a nozzle needle longitudinally movable within the nozzle body so that a nozzle cross section of the primary nozzle is variably adjustable and closeable by the nozzle needle; a compression spring that urges the nozzle needle in a closing direction, wherein the nozzle needle includes a first pressure surface configured to be loaded with a pressure of the propellant in an opening direction that is opposite to the closing direction, and a second pressure surface configured to be loaded with a pressure of a secondary medium in the closing direction.

  • Publication number: 20230313906
    Abstract: A pneumatic valve for controlling a gaseous medium, the pneumatic valve including a housing including an inlet and an outlet; a primary piston that forms a primary stage in cooperation with a primary valve seat in the housing, wherein the primary piston is axially movable in a housing bore along a longitudinal axis to open and close a direct volume flow connection between the inlet and the outlet; a pilot piston that forms a pilot stage in cooperation with a pilot valve seat at or in the primary piston, wherein the pilot piston is operatively connected with an electromagnetic actuator for opening or closing a throttle bore in the primary piston, wherein the inlet is connectable with the outlet indirectly through the primary piston by the throttle bore.
