  • Patent number: 11682776
    Abstract: The invention relates to a metering valve (1) for controlling a gaseous medium, in particular hydrogen, comprising a valve housing (2), wherein an interior space (3) is formed in the valve housing (2). A reciprocating closing element (10) is arranged in the interior space (3), which interacts with a valve seat (37) for opening or closing at least one passage channel (25). Furthermore, the metering valve (1) comprises a nozzle (11), the at least one passage channel (25) being formed in the nozzle (11) and the passage channel (25) having a circular-cylindrical portion.

  • Patent number: 11242939
    Abstract: The invention relates to a proportional valve (1) for controlling a gaseous medium, in particular hydrogen, comprising a valve housing (2), in which a closing element (10) arranged therein interacts with a valve seat (19) in order to open and close at least one passage opening (18). Furthermore, an armature device (25), which is operatively connected to the closing element (10), and an electromagnet (26) are provided, by means of which electromagnet a magnetic force can be produced on the armature device (25) and the armature device (25) can move reciprocatingly along a longitudinal axis (40) of the proportional valve (1). Moreover, the electromagnet (26) comprises an inner pole (14), an outer pole (13) and a solenoid coil (12) and the armature device (25) composes an armature (8). The valve housing (2) and the inner pole (14) are magnetically connected to each other by means of a magnetic choke point (20). The magnetic choke point (20) is formed in an axial region of extent of the armature (8).

  • Publication number: 20060008396
    Abstract: An exhaust treatment apparatus having a body through which the exhaust of an internal combustion engine can flow, which body has regions with different flow resistances; the body has flow regions that are separate from one another and are each delimited by a delimiting device and each have at least one inflow opening that the exhaust can act on; the different flow resistances in the regions are produced by differently embodied delimiting devices.
