20120318388 | Double-Seat Valve Device - A double-seat valve device, with a valve seat region, includes a first circular cylindrical-shaped seat surface with a first diameter, which with a first sealing element forms a radial seal for a connection opening to a first housing part, and a second circular cylindrical-shaped seat surface with a second diameter smaller than the first, which with a second sealing element forms a radial seal for the opening to a second housing part. A third seat surface is arranged between the first and second surfaces. In a closed position of the first closing member, the contact region rests against the third seat surface, to form a solid-state stop for the contact region. A deflecting surface is arranged between the first and third seat surfaces. The deflecting surface has an outlet edge offset to the third seat surface. A direction vector at the outlet edge points away from the second sealing element. | 12-20-2012 |
