Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kompressorventil zum Steuern einer Kolbenmaschine für den Einlass eines Gases in den Arbeitsraum oder den Auslass eines Gases aus dem Arbeitsraum der Kolbemaschine. Das Kompressorventil um fasst mindestens einen Ventilsitz (01), einen Ventilfänger (02) und ein Dichtelement (03). Das Dichtelement (03) weist eine kugelförmige Gestalt auf und ist zwischen dem Ventilsitz(01) und dem Ventilfänger (02) angeordnet. Dabei ruht das Dichtelement (03) im Ventilsitz (01) auf einer Sitzleiste (05), die umlaufend an einem Ende einer Kragenbuchse (04) oder Bohrung (06) im Ventilsitz (01) angebracht ist. Weiterhin ist das Dichtelement (03) im Ventilfänger (02) in einer Aufnahme (07) gehalten, die an einem Ende des Ventilfängers (02) angebracht ist.

The present invention relates to a compressor valve for controlling a piston engine for the admission of a gas into the working space or the outlet of a gas from the working space of the piston machine. The compressor valve includes at least one valve seat (01), a valve catcher (02) and a sealing element (03). The sealing element (03) has a spherical shape and is arranged between the valve seat (01) and the valve catcher (02). In this case, the sealing element (03) rests in the valve seat (01) on a seat strip (05) which is circumferentially attached to one end of a collar bushing (04) or bore (06) in the valve seat (01). Furthermore, the sealing element (03) is held in the valve catcher (02) in a receptacle (07) which is attached to one end of the valve catcher (02).
