A first opening is an inlet for a substance, a second opening connects to a mixing path and a third opening bridges the mixing path. The valve control disk has a first and second recess and is arranged parallel to the valve seat disk and a flow is realized via the first recess between the first and second opening and via the second recess between the first and third opening. The first opening is superimposed by the first and second recesses and a superimposed surface area remains constant. The total superimposed surfaces of the first openings by the first recesses and by the second recesses are also constant.
