Definitions
- the invention relates to a shuttle valve for a pneumatic system with a valve housing with a primary compressed air inlet, a secondary compressed air inlet and a compressed air outlet, and a valve body which is movably arranged in the valve housing and which can be moved between a first end position in which the primary compressed air inlet is connected to the compressed air outlet, and a second end position in which the secondary compressed air inlet is connected to the compressed air outlet.
- the invention further relates to a pneumatic brake arrangement, a commercial vehicle and a use of a shuttle valve.
- Shuttle valves also known as double check valves (DCV) or shuttle valves, are used to alternately connect two connections to a third connection, in particular two inlets to one outlet.
- DCV double check valves
- shuttle valves are designed in such a way that the higher of the pressure applied to the first and second or primary and secondary compressed air connections is passed through to the compressed air outlet.
- the switching point of such shuttle valves is approximately in the area in which the pressure applied to the primary and secondary compressed air connections is approximately the same. It is precisely in this area that instabilities can occur, since the position of the valve body can be undefined when the pressures are the same.
- valve body moves slowly, which in the worst case can cause the valve body to remain in the middle position for a longer period, in which the compressed air outlet is typically closed. This means that when changing the position of the valve body, the compressed air outlet may take a relatively long time to close, which is usually undesirable.
- shuttle valves are known that have a preferred position. This is achieved by the valve element being preloaded into one of the two end positions by means of a spring. The disadvantage of this is that the pressure at one of the two compressed air inlets must always overcome the force of the spring in order to assume the other position. Another disadvantage is that such spring-loaded shuttle valves can tend to jam.
- a shuttle valve of the type mentioned above is known from KR 101 234 623 B1.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a shuttle valve which preferably has a pneumatically predetermined preferred position, has a switching point which is not at equally high pressures at the primary and secondary compressed air inlets, and is preferably simplified and reliable.
- the invention solves the problem in a shuttle valve of the type mentioned at the outset by an overflow chamber in the valve housing, which is connected to an auxiliary control surface of the valve body, wherein the overflow chamber is depressurized at least in the first end position and is pressurized in at least one other position of the valve body for temporarily providing an auxiliary force to the valve body.
- the invention is based on the finding that with the help of an auxiliary control surface on the valve body, which is only temporarily and preferably only pressurized in certain positions of the valve body in the valve housing, an auxiliary force can be applied to the valve body in these positions in order to move it into the desired position.
- the overflow chamber is depressurized in certain positions so that no pressure acts on the auxiliary control surface, and pressurized in certain positions so that in these certain positions the auxiliary control surface is pressurized and the auxiliary force is provided.
- the overflow chamber can have an overflow chamber inlet which is arranged between the primary or secondary compressed air inlet and the compressed air outlet.
- the overflow chamber inlet can preferably be locked and unlocked by means of the valve body in order to be pressurized or not depending on the positions of the valve body. In this way, it is possible to prevent instabilities and to apply a specific load to the valve body and move it to certain positions by applying the auxiliary force in certain positions. In this way, a very rapid switchover between the first and second end positions can be achieved with a short closing time and with a short or eliminated settling time. In addition, a switching point of the shuttle valve can be shifted from pressure parity at the primary and secondary compressed air inlet to a higher pressure difference, which is necessary to move the valve body from one end position to the other.
- Such a shuttle valve is particularly suitable for connecting a primary and a secondary circuit of a pneumatic braking system to a brake pressure modulator, such as a front axle modulator, rear axle modulator or a trailer control valve.
- the primary circuit can be a main circuit, for example, and the secondary circuit an auxiliary circuit, for example.
- the auxiliary circuit can be used in redundancy levels or fallback levels of the braking system, for example, and should normally be locked out.
- the shuttle valve presented here then allows rapid switching at a certain pressure difference between the primary compressed air inlet and the secondary compressed air inlet with a short closing time.
- the valve body further comprises a primary control surface and a secondary control surface, the primary control surface being connected to the primary compressed air inlet and the secondary control surface being connected to the secondary compressed air inlet. If the pressure at the primary compressed air inlet exerts a greater force on the valve body than the pressure at the secondary compressed air inlet, the valve body is accordingly moved to the first end position. Conversely, it can be provided that the valve body is moved to the second end position if the force acting on the piston due to the pressure at the secondary compressed air inlet is greater than the force on the valve body due to the pressure at the primary compressed air inlet.
- the primary control surface is larger than the secondary control surface, preferably by at least 5%. Further preferably, the primary control surface is 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% larger than the secondary control surface. It should be understood that this aspect of the invention is also disclosed and can be claimed independently of the solution mentioned at the outset.
- a shuttle valve for a pneumatic system with a valve housing with a primary compressed air inlet, a secondary compressed air inlet and a compressed air outlet, and a valve body which is movably arranged in the valve housing and which can be moved between a first end position in which the primary compressed air inlet is connected to the compressed air outlet, and a second end position in which the secondary compressed air inlet is connected to the compressed air outlet, wherein the valve body has a primary control surface and a secondary control surface, wherein the primary control surface is connected to the primary compressed air inlet and the secondary control surface is connected to the secondary compressed air inlet, and wherein the primary control surface is larger than the secondary control surface.
- the primary and secondary control surfaces are formed on two opposite end faces of the valve body, preferably parallel to one another.
- the valve body is substantially rotationally symmetrical and has, for example, a cylindrical base body, so that the primary and secondary control surfaces in this case form axial end faces of the substantially cylindrical base body.
- the overflow chamber is pressurized in the second end position.
- the secondary compressed air inlet is connected to the compressed air outlet and the primary compressed air inlet is closed.
- the primary control surface is preferably larger than the secondary control surface
- the pressurization of the overflow chamber in the second end position can pressurize the auxiliary control surface in the second end position, so that in the second end position the auxiliary force acts on the valve body in the direction of the second end position and holds the valve body in the second end position, even though the primary control surface is larger than the secondary control surface.
- the overflow chamber is preferably depressurized, so that the valve body is held in the first end position even at equal pressures at the primary and secondary compressed air inlets, due to the larger primary control area.
- the overflow chamber is connected to the secondary compressed air inlet in the at least one other position of the valve body.
- the overflow chamber is also connected to the secondary compressed air inlet in the second end position. This means that in the overflow chamber, in the at least one other position of the valve body and/or in the second end position, the pressure prevails at the secondary compressed air inlet and thus the same pressure that acts on the secondary control surface.
- valve body can assume a closed position in which the primary compressed air inlet, the secondary compressed air inlet and the compressed air outlet are closed and overflow from the primary compressed air inlet to the secondary compressed air inlet and vice versa is prevented.
- the shuttle valve can also be used for circuit separation and in circuit-separated structures of pneumatic brake systems.
- other embodiments can also be provided in which no absolute closed position is provided, but rather one or more of the three closures are not completely closed even in a middle position of the valve body, and/or in which overflow from the primary to the secondary compressed air inlet and vice versa is explicitly permitted.
- auxiliary control surface is only effective between the closed position and the second end position. In this way, it can be ensured that the valve body is moved from the first end position into the closed position and then quickly from the closed position into the second end position.
- the auxiliary control surface preferably becomes effective as soon as the valve body is in the closed position, or shortly thereafter, or shortly before. As a result, the auxiliary force becomes effective when the closed position is entered and the valve body is accelerated due to the auxiliary force suddenly becoming effective and quickly moved into the second end position. This makes it possible to keep the closed position as short as possible and thus also to keep the pressure drop at the compressed air outlet as short as possible. This can increase the availability of a braking system in which the shuttle valve according to the invention is used.
- the shuttle valve has a leakage bore that connects the overflow chamber to the environment.
- the leakage bore preferably connects the overflow chamber to a vent, preferably a vent of a brake module, in the event that the shuttle valve is arranged on or in a brake module.
- the leakage bore serves to vent the overflow chamber when the valve body is moved to the first end position, and thus to enable the valve body to be completely moved to the first end position.
- the leakage bore preferably has a throttle.
- the valve body has at least one first radial seal for radially sealing the valve body against the valve housing.
- the valve body has at least one second radial seal for radially sealing the valve body against the valve housing.
- the valve body is preferably formed substantially rotationally symmetrically, wherein it has a section with a larger diameter to form the primary control surface and a section with a smaller diameter to form the secondary control surface.
- At least one radial seal is preferably provided both in a section with a larger diameter and in a section with a smaller diameter.
- the radial seal can comprise a sealing ring. A shoulder between the smaller diameter region and the larger diameter region can form the auxiliary control surface.
- a guide is also provided for at least partially guiding the valve body between the first and second end positions.
- the guide can be, for example, a cage in which the valve body can be moved back and forth between the end positions, the cage having at least partially radial openings to enable the overflow chamber to be pressurized.
- the guide can also be a grid, a net or the like, which guides the valve body radially.
- Other alternatives are a slot in the valve housing, in which a pin engages, or vice versa, a pin on the valve housing, which engages in a slot on the valve body, as well as axially provided projections or rods or webs which engage in corresponding guides.
- a pressure difference between the primary compressed air inlet and the secondary compressed air inlet for causing the valve body to change from the first end position to the second end position is in a range of 1.5 bar to 5 bar, preferably 2 to 4 bar, more preferably 2.5 to 4 bar.
- a particularly preferred range can be 3.5 bar, for example.
- Typical working pressures in pneumatic brake systems are between 10.5 and 12.5 bar, so that a difference of 3.5 bar accounts for around 25 to 35% of the working pressure. This can prevent the shuttle valve from switching due to small pressure fluctuations, for example in the 5 to 10% range.
- a pneumatic brake arrangement with a pneumatic brake module with at least one pneumatic supply or control connection and at least one pneumatic working connection for providing the brake pressure, and a shuttle valve according to one of the above-described preferred embodiments of a shuttle valve according to the first aspect of the invention, wherein the compressed air outlet of the shuttle valve is connected to the supply or control connection of the pneumatic brake module.
- the pneumatic brake module can be, for example, a front axle modulator, rear axle modulator, additional axle modulator, parking brake modulator or trailer control module, which provides a brake pressure for one of the axles or a trailer at the working connection.
- brake modules in a pneumatic brake system can be supplied at a supply connection via a first and a second circuit in order to increase redundancy and thus residual availability.
- the invention solves the problem mentioned above by a commercial vehicle with a pneumatic brake system and a pneumatic brake arrangement according to the above-described preferred embodiment of a brake arrangement according to the second aspect of the invention.
- the pneumatic brake arrangement according to the second aspect of the invention and the commercial vehicle according to the third aspect of the invention have the same and similar sub-aspects as are particularly set out in the dependent claims. In this respect, reference is made in full to the above description.
- the invention solves the problem in a fourth aspect by using a shuttle valve according to one of the above-described preferred embodiments of a shuttle valve according to the first aspect of the invention for connecting a primary compressed air circuit and a secondary compressed air circuit to a pneumatic brake module.
- the primary compressed air circuit is preferably a main circuit and the secondary compressed air circuit is preferably an auxiliary circuit.
- the main circuit is preferably assigned to an operating level of the brake system, while the auxiliary circuit is assigned to a redundancy level of the brake system.

- Fig. 7 a time-pressure diagram for the shuttle valve
- Fig. 8 a commercial vehicle with a pneumatic brake arrangement and a shuttle valve.
- a shuttle valve 1 for a pneumatic system such as a pneumatic brake arrangement 100 (see Fig. 8) has a valve housing 2, which is essentially rotationally symmetrical here, and therefore only the upper part with respect to a central axis A is shown in the figures.
- the valve housing and thus the shuttle valve 1 do not necessarily have to be rotationally symmetrical. and can, for example, have a rectangular or polygonal cross-section.
- a valve chamber 4 is formed in the valve housing 2, in which a valve body 6 is movably arranged. Specifically, the valve body 6 is movably movable between a first end position EL1, which is shown in Fig. 1, and a second end position EL2, which is shown in Fig. 5. Between the first and second end positions EL1, EL2, the valve body can assume several other positions, as will be described in more detail below.
- the valve housing 2 has three connections, namely a compressed air outlet 8, a primary compressed air inlet 11 and a secondary compressed air inlet 12.
- the shuttle valve 1 serves to alternately connect the primary compressed air inlet 11 or the secondary compressed air inlet 12 to the compressed air outlet 8.
- the compressed air outlet 8 can, for example, be connected to a pneumatic consumer and the primary and secondary compressed air inlets 11, 12 can be connected to different pressure sources, as will be described in more detail later.
- the secondary compressed air inlet is
- the valve body 6 can be rotationally symmetrical and in this case is stepped. This means that the valve body 6 has a larger diameter part and a smaller diameter part, as can be seen in particular in Fig.1. On the larger diameter part of the valve body 6, it has a primary control surface
- the primary and secondary control surfaces 13, 14 are arranged on opposite end faces of the valve body 6.
- the primary control surface 13 is larger than the secondary control surface 14.
- a ratio of the primary control surface 13 to the secondary control surface 14 is preferably in a range from 2:1 to 1.5:1, but can also be 1.1:1.
- the valve body 6 comprises a step 15 which defines an auxiliary control surface 16.
- the step 15 is designed as a radial shoulder in the valve body 6, but can also be formed in another way.
- the auxiliary control surface 16 is preferably parallel to the primary and secondary control surface 13, 14 and preferably aligned with the secondary control surface 14.
- a first seal 18 is arranged on the part of the valve body 6 with the larger diameter and a second seal 20 on the part with the smaller diameter.
- the first and second seals 18, 20 are each designed as sealing rings which sit in corresponding circumferential grooves on the valve body 6.
- the first and second seals 18, 20 rest against corresponding sealing surfaces of the valve housing 2 and thus seal the valve body 6 against the valve housing 2.
- Due to the radially acting first and second seals 18, 20, the primary and secondary control surfaces 13, 14 also have defined sizes in the end positions, so that defined forces act on the valve body 6 in the end positions too.
- an overflow chamber 22 is provided in the valve housing 2.
- the overflow chamber 22 serves to apply pressure to the auxiliary control surface 16 in certain positions of the valve body 6 and to be pressureless in certain other positions of the valve body 6 and thus not to apply pressure to the auxiliary control surface 16. In this way, in certain positions of the valve body 6, an additional force is applied in the direction of the second end position EL2, which can partially or completely compensate for the different sizes of the primary and secondary control surfaces 13, 14.
- the overflow chamber 22 is connected to the environment and preferably to a vent 26 via a leakage bore 24.
- the overflow chamber 22 can be kept pressureless in certain situations via the leakage bore 24.
- the leakage bore 24 is dimensioned such that a high pressure gradient can be maintained and in particular the connection to the environment is throttled.
- the leakage bore 24 serves in particular for the residual venting of the overflow chamber 22.
- Fig. 2 to 6 different positions of the valve body 6 are now described, depending on pressure ratios between the primary pressure p11 and the secondary pressure p12.
- the pressure p11 is higher than the pressure p12 and is, for example, in a range of 10.5 to 12.5 bar, while the secondary pressure p12 is, for example, about 8.5 bar.
- the valve body 6 is in the first end position EL1, and as also shown in Fig. 1, the primary compressed air inlet 11 is connected to the Compressed air outlet 8 is connected. In this respect, the primary pressure p11 is also made available at the compressed air outlet 8.
- the valve body 6 is in the first end position EL1 not only due to the higher primary pressure p11, but also because the primary control surface 13 has a larger effective area than the secondary control surface 14.
- the overflow chamber 22 is pressureless because it is not connected to the primary compressed air inlet 11, the secondary compressed air inlet 12 or the compressed air outlet 8, but is only connected to the environment via the leakage bore 24.
- the valve body 6 initially maintains this position (first end position EL1) because, due to the larger primary control surface 13, even with pressure parity between the primary pressure p11 and the secondary pressure p12, a force in the first end position EL1 is greater than a force in the second end position EL2.
- the relationship between the primary control surface 13 and the secondary control surface 14 is selected such that the valve body 6 only begins to move from the first end position EL1 towards the second end position EL2 when the primary pressure p11 drops to a range of approximately 4 bar to 6 bar. This can be seen from the transition from Fig. 2 to Fig. 3. In Fig. 3, the shorter arrows acting on the primary control surface 13 indicate that the primary pressure p11 has dropped. The secondary pressure p12 has remained the same, for example at 8.5 bar.
- the valve body 6 therefore moves from right to left with reference to Fig. 1 to 8 and initially comes into a closed position SL (shown in Fig. 3), in which it is not stable.
- a closed position SL shown in Fig. 3
- all connections are blocked off and pressure can neither be directed from the primary compressed air inlet 11 to the compressed air outlet 8, nor can pressure be directed from the secondary compressed air inlet 12 to the compressed air outlet 8, nor is overflow from the primary to the secondary compressed air inlet 11, 12 or vice versa permitted.
- the axial distance between the first and second seals 18, 20 is selected such that in the closed position the second seal 20 is still in contact with its corresponding sealing surface of the valve housing 2 and the first seal 18 is already in contact with a corresponding sealing surface of the housing 2 which is arranged between the primary compressed air inlet 11 and the compressed air outlet 8.
- the closing position SL is not an essential feature of the Invention, but can be advantageous if a circuit separation is to be achieved between circuits connected to the primary and secondary compressed air inlets 11, 12.
- the axial distance between the first and second seals 18, 20 can be selected differently, so that, for example, in the intermediate position shown in Fig. 3, an overflow of air between different connections is permitted.
- valve body 6 initially moves further to the left so that the second seal 20 comes out of engagement with the corresponding radial sealing surface on the valve housing 2 and an overflow of pressure from the secondary compressed air inlet 12 is initially permitted into the overflow chamber 22.
- the compressed air can then reach the compressed air outlet 8 from the overflow chamber, so that ultimately the secondary compressed air inlet 12 is connected to the compressed air outlet 8 (see Fig. 4).
- a guide 28 is provided in the embodiment shown here, which can be designed, for example, as a cage, grid or the like.
- the guide 28 can also be provided as a slot in the housing or by axial projections on the valve body 6, which can move in corresponding holders.
- the auxiliary control surface 16 is also subjected to the secondary pressure p12, which is indicated by the arrows of equal length on the auxiliary control surface 16 and the secondary control surface 14.
- the valve body 6 is therefore accelerated out of this position and accelerated into the second end position EL2. This is particularly advantageous in order to keep the closed position SL (see Fig.
- valve body 6 then moves further (see Fig. 5) into the second end position EL2, in which the primary compressed air inlet 11 is completely closed. closed and the secondary compressed air inlet 12 is fully open and connected to the compressed air outlet 8.
- the overflow chamber 22 is pressurized and is used for the overflow from the secondary pressure p12 to the compressed air outlet 8.
- the valve body 6 moves from the second end position EL2 to the right in the direction of the first end position EL1.
- the overflow chamber 22 is initially closed off from the secondary compressed air inlet 12. In this position (not shown), in which the valve body 6 is shifted slightly further to the left than shown in Fig. 6, it can still be connected to the compressed air outlet 8. However, if a consumer is connected to the compressed air outlet 8, the overflow chamber 22 will already be largely depressurized in this position.
- the auxiliary control surface 16 is no longer subjected to the secondary pressure p12 and in this respect the auxiliary force acting on the valve body in the direction of the second end position EL2 is also eliminated. If the valve body 6 now moves further to the right in the direction of the first end position, in particular because the primary control surface 13 is larger than the secondary control surface 14 and the auxiliary control surface 16 is already largely ineffective in this position, the valve body 6 comes into the intermediate position shown in Fig. 6, in which the compressed air outlet 8 is again fully connected to the primary compressed air inlet 11 and in this respect the primary pressure p11 is also controlled to the compressed air outlet 8. In this position, the overflow chamber 22 is not connected to any of the connections, only to the environment via the leakage hole 24.
- valve body 6 is not yet in the complete first end position. If the valve body 6 moves further into the first end position EL1, the overflow chamber 22 is further reduced in size. In this situation, the leakage hole 24 serves to largely reduce excess pressure in the overflow chamber. to prevent or vent in order to prevent an unwanted build-up of force via the auxiliary control surface 16 in this position.
- valve body 6 in certain situations an additional force can be applied to the valve body 6 by the overflow chamber 22, particularly in conjunction with the auxiliary control surface 16, initially into the second end position and then, during the return movement, also into the first end position, namely when the auxiliary control surface 16 becomes ineffective.
- the valve body 6 is thus accelerated from an intermediate position into the end positions EL1, EL2, so that a closed position or intermediate position with reduced cross-sections is assumed in a shorter time.
- the design according to the invention results in a hysteresis between the primary and the secondary pressure p11, p12 depending on the direction of movement of the valve body 6.
- valve body 6 While the valve body 6 is only moved out of the first end position EL1 when the primary pressure p11 falls below the secondary pressure p12 by a certain pressure predetermined by the ratio of the primary and secondary control surfaces 13, 14, at least parity between the primary and the secondary pressure p11, p12 must be established in order to move the valve body 6 back from the second end position EL2 to the first end position EL1.
- the pressure is entered on the left ordinate, the path on the right ordinate.
- the path is shown between the first end position EL1 and the second end position EL2 and relates to the valve body 6, which is shown by a closely dashed line.
- the other lines are pressure lines shown in the legend in Fig. 7, namely the primary pressure p11, the secondary pressure p12, a pressure p8 at the compressed air outlet 8 and a pressure p22 in the overflow chamber 22.
- the time is shown on the abscissa and is based on the sequence in Fig. 2. Initially from time t0 (not shown) up to time t1, the pressure conditions shown in Fig. 2 prevail.
- the valve body 6 is in the first end position EL2 and the primary pressure p11 prevails at the compressed air outlet 8.
- the secondary pressure p12 is lower than the primary pressure p11.
- the primary pressure p11 then drops and at the same time the pressure p8 at the compressed air outlet also drops. If at time t2 the primary pressure p11 is significantly below the secondary pressure p12, namely by the amount of the hysteresis HY, the valve body 6 starts to move, which is shown by the closely dashed line.
- time t3 which corresponds to the position according to Fig.
- the overflow chamber 22 is pressurized, namely the secondary pressure p12, which is shown by the dash-dotted line of the pressure curve of the overflow chamber 22, which rises to approximately the level of the secondary pressure p12.
- the auxiliary control surface 16 is also pressurized, so that the movement of the valve body accelerates, which is shown by the now steeper movement curve of the valve body 6.
- the pressure p8 at the compressed air outlet 8 also starts to rise again; a large pressure drop at the secondary compressed air inlet 12 is caused by the complete connection of the secondary compressed air inlet 12 with the compressed air outlet 8.
- the valve body 6 reaches the second end position EL2 and does not move any further.
- the pressure p8 at the compressed air outlet 8 rises to the level of the secondary pressure p12.
- the system is at rest again. This position corresponds to Fig. 5.
- the primary pressure p11 then begins to rise again (time t5) and at time t6 then reaches the level of the secondary pressure p12, so that the valve body 6 begins to move from the second end position towards the first end position.
- time t7 which roughly corresponds to Fig. 6, the overflow chamber 22 is again depressurized, which can be seen by the drop in pressure p22.
- the movement of the valve body 6 accelerates again because there is no longer any auxiliary force acting in the direction of the second end position EL2, which in turn is shown by a steeper curve of the path of the valve body 6.
- the valve body 6 reaches the first end position EL1, ambient pressure prevails in the overflow chamber 22, and the primary pressure p11 has returned to its initial level and with it the pressure p8 at the compressed air outlet 8. This state is reached at t8.
- Fig. 8 now illustrates a commercial vehicle 200 with a pneumatic braking system 202, of which a large number of parts are omitted in Fig. 8 for the sake of clarity.
- First and second brake actuators 204a, 204b are arranged on a front axle VA, which receive a front axle brake pressure pBVA from a front axle modulator 206.
- the front axle modulator 206 forms a pneumatic brake actuator. dul 207.
- the front axle modulator 206 has a pneumatic supply or control connection 208; the first and second brake actuators 204a, 204b are connected to pneumatic working connections 210a, 210b.
- the supply or control connection 208 is connected to a shuttle valve 1, which is designed as described above.
- the compressed air outlet 8 of the shuttle valve 1 is connected to the supply or control connection 208.
- the primary compressed air inlet 11 is connected to a primary compressed air circuit 211, which is shown here as an example only by a compressed air supply
- the secondary compressed air inlet 12 is connected to a secondary compressed air circuit 212, which is also shown as an example only by a compressed air supply.
- the primary compressed air circuit 211 can, for example, be a main circuit or an operating level of the pneumatic braking system 202
- the secondary compressed air circuit 212 is an auxiliary circuit or redundancy circuit in a fallback level of the pneumatic braking system 202.
- the front axle modulator 206 also has a vent 214 to which the leakage bore 24 can be connected.
- valve housing 2 can be designed in one or more parts.
- a cage can be provided within an otherwise cylindrical valve housing 2, which defines the overflow chamber 22 and at the same time forms a guide.
- the valve housing as a whole can also be made up of several parts, divided in the axial and/or radial direction.
- the valve body 6 itself can also be made up of one or more parts. List of reference symbols (part of the description)
