- Valve for regulating fluid flows with an actuator made of electrically heatable, completely clean material
- the invention relates to valves for regulating fluid flows with an actuator made of electrically heatable, ge staltseri nne rndem material, which has a closure element against the back L l force of a spring according to a temperature-dependent change in length its position relative to the valve seat.
- a compressed air valve L for robot controls is known from the German magazine Management Congress Congress 8/88, page 59 "Tech-Highlights". This valve is characterized by an extremely small size, simple construction and fast switching 11 mpu l s e. It replaces previously used electromagnetic valves which, on the contrary, are large and expensive, their magnets being often a source of interference for sensors and for sensitive microelectronic circuits.
- the new, extremely small valves use memory metals as an active element.
- the well-known compressed air valve has a memory metal lsti ft, which is connected to the valve tip, which is held in the closed position by a compression spring.
- the memory metal pen is integrated in an electrical circuit. When there is no current flowing, the spring keeps the valve closed, the memory metal keeping its comparatively longer geometric shape in the state of low temperature. When heated with electricity, it converts to its second high pressure temperature form and becomes shorter. The spring force is overcome and the valve opened.
- the known version of the valve is a pure control element with opening or
- a sensor for measuring and analysis devices is known from EP-A1-0 391 018. It is a sensor element in which the size to be measured has a direct or indirect influence on the condition of the material of the sensor element.
- the sensor element is made of a material called Gesta Itseri and is heatable in such a way that its operating temperature can be adjusted to a temperature in the range of the structural phase transition of its material.
- Characteristic of the function of the known measuring and analysis device is that the temperature of the sensor is kept constant with the aid of a controllable heating current, the voltage applied to the wire, the heating current or the heating power, being used as a measured variable.
- the size to be measured has an influence on the temperature of the transition in the area of the phase structure
- the low temperature eme phature phase into the high temperature phase with the help of a material that keeps the heat from the air, i.e. the heating current is adjusted to a change in temperature of the material.
- a direct control of fluid flows is not possible with the known measuring and analysis device, but would require the arrangement of an additional e rect to see romechani or electromagnetic control lung organ for the fluid flow, which would then have to be controlled by the known measuring and ana lysis device. Such an arrangement is complex, prone to failure and therefore unsatisfactory.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a valve for regulating fluid flows with an actuator made of electrically heatable gesta Ltseri material of the type mentioned, which can be used for direct control, in particular in the sense of constant maintenance of a predetermined state of a fluid flow passed through and moreover uncomplicated in construction and extremely small.
- the valve is suitable for direct control of a fluid flow, which is regulated within a comparatively narrow equilibrium range of its state, for example in a constant pressure range, a constant flow range or a constant gas mixture range or also in a constant temperature range.
- valve has channels or connections which receive the SMA thread, conduct the fluid streams to be regulated and serve to heat exchange between the SMA thread and the fluid streams.
- valve and its systematic valve variants have in common is that the contraction or elongation of a material made of steel is used to actuate the closing mechanism.
- Another common feature in the arrangement of the valve or its valve variants is that a change in the length of its actuator caused by a change in a fluid flow in the area of the phase transition results in an immediate change in the conductance or the flow rate of the fluid through the valve, so that this conductance is a monotonous function of the temperature-related length of the actuator. All parameters occurring during operation are responsible for the temperature of the wire, which can influence the heat balance of the system. For example: - temperature T of the fluid
- the conductivity of the valve is a function of one or more of these quantities.
- the process medium compensates for the effects of the above-mentioned variables directly through the process medium through the operating mode or constructive measures.
- a special design of the valve can ensure that the pressure comes into contact with the wire, but not the flow flowing through the valve, and vice versa.
- the design can vary so that ' the contracting thread causes either a closure or an opening of the valve.
- valve design can be designed as a pressure control element and a body made of electrically non-conductive material with a bore receiving the SMA thread, the spring and the closure element and with a Have valve seat with a connecting channel and a side channel branching side receiving head and a closed bottom part l, the spring as a conductor for the current flow between the vent i lse iti gene end of the SMA wire and the other end thereof on the valve bottom are connected to a power source.
- the gas pressure surrounding the thread when the valve is open is equal to the pressure of the fluid flowing from the secondary duct through the connecting duct L.
- the gas flow can pass through the valve without significantly influencing the SMA wire.
- the valve shows control valve 11. As the pressure drops, the thread temperature increases, the thread contracts and opens the valve. Conversely, if the pressure increases, the gas flow is throttled. It equates to a constant electrical heating output . increased pressure, which is kept constant within certain limits.
- the valve is designed as a flow control member and has an inflow channel in the bottom part 1 and an outflow channel in the top part 1.
- the gas flow flows along the SMA wire and transports heat away.
- the heat dissipated is a function of the flow.
- an impressed constant electrical power which keeps the wire temperature at a predetermined constant flow of the fluid at the phase transition limit
- a function is realized in which increasing flow lowers the thread temperature, the thread lengthening and the conductance of the valve being reduced .
- Decreasing river causes the opposite l.
- the flow of the flowing fluid tends to a state of equilibrium, which is kept constant within narrow limits.
- the resulting flow is approximately proportional to the voltage or heating power fed in. That is why this type of valve is suitable as an actuator in electronic control loops for the pruning of gases.
- Proportion on Ivent i Le manufactured according to the prior art are problematic, extremely complex and prone to failure for the gas flow.
- Venti l is formed as a Lorgan
- Bodentei l an outlet channel for the constantly regulated
- This type of valve uses the thermal conductivity of different types of gas as the physical basis. Moving in
- the heating power of the SMA wire is at a predetermined constant flow with predetermined mixture concentrations
- Another advantageous valve variant is designed as a protective valve for gas leak detectors, in particular for helium leak detectors. It has an inflow channel in the bottom part l, a connection channel to the leak detector in the head part l and a bypass opening in the bypass to the valve seat at the head end of the valve body.
- the apparatus has already passed helium concentration.
- the result is insensitivity and long recovery times.
- the protection valve switches off the gas flow.
- the heating power is set so that the valve is open at low concentrations. If a gas stream enriched with helium now enters through the inflow channel in the bottom part l, the SMA wire is cooled due to the higher concentration of helium in the gas stream, and cooled due to the increased thermal conductivity of the gas, lengthens and closes the valve l. The gas flow can then only escape through the bypass opening. As soon as the
- the valve moves back to the initial state, i.e. it opens.
- valve is designed, for example, as a visual filter, with a central valve body, one Gas inlet channel in the bottom part l and a first, the closure element guiding, with a valve seat in an intermediate wall closable hole, which is followed by a second hole in the valve body, which receives the SMA thread firmly connected to the tip of the valve , which is fastened on the outlet side to the head part 1 having an outlet channel.
- This is a Wegventi l, which remains in its state after tripping and must be reset from the outside. If a gas flow passes the valve from the bottom part to the head part, the gas flow is completely switched off when the flow falls below a certain threshold, as a result of which the wire temperature rises further and the valve remains in the closed position.
- a comparatively narrow ceramic tube surrounding the SMA wire and extending between the inlet channel in the base part and the valve seat is arranged.

- the valve body (20) takes in a bore (24) the Versch Luße element (21) with the actuator (1) made of electrically heatable sta Lt se ri nne rende material in the form of the SMA thread and the return spring (23).
- valve variants described below have in common that the contraction or elongation of the wire (1) made of material resemble of the shape is used to actuate the closure element (21), where in principle instead of the wire (1) other geometric shapes with changes in shape due to bending or torsion can also be used. Because of the simplicity of the construction and the clarity of the function, the wire principle is preferred and shown as an example.
- the use of a cone or needle valve body as a locking element (21) is also to be understood as a pure embodiment example and not as a limitation. Basically, other types of valves can also be used here.
- the arrangement of the drive is fundamentally chosen so that a change in length of the SMA wire (1) used as an actuator in the area of the phase transition results in a change in the conductance and thus the fluid passage in the valve seat (22), so that the master value is a monotonous function of the length of the actuator.
- the respective length of the wire (1) as a function of the thread temperature with a constant heating power of different physical parameters of the fluid flow is therefore responsible for the temperature of the wire (1) all parameters that occur during operation, which have an influence on the thermal balance of the system such as temperature, Thermal conductivity, flow rate, pressure and mixture type of the gases.
- Figure 1 shows an arrangement for a pressure constant.
- the gas pressure surrounding the SMA thread is equal to that at connection A of the secondary duct (28), since it is connected to the bore (24) of the valve body (20).
- Ver rsch Luße element (21) in the high temperature state of the SMA thread (1), a gas flow can flow between the secondary duct (28) and the connecting duct (B, 27) in the head part (25) of the valve.
- the valve shows regu lation.
- the pressure drops, the temperature of the thread (1) increases, the thread (1) contracts and opens the valve (21, 22). Conversely, if the pressure increases, the gas flow is throttled.

- This is via the power connections (3,4) connected to the power source (2).
- This is shown as a controllable current source (2), but is constantly regulated for a pressure to be kept constant.
- the Venti L admitted according to Figure 3 shows a system for constant flow control.
- the gas flow passes the SMA wire (1) and transports heat away.
- the heat dissipated is a function of the flow.
- the valve has on the bottom part (26) an inflow channel (30) with the designation B and in the head part (25) an outlet channel (29) with the designation A.
- the electrical connections and designations are otherwise the same as those in Fig. 1.

- the temperature of the SMA thread (1) changes as described above when it is constantly heated by the current source (2), the closure element (21) reacting accordingly.
- FIG. 5 shows a valve designed as a lively mixture. It has the valve (20) with the closure element (21), the actuator of the SMA wire (1) and the return spring (23).
- the mixture to be controlled consisting of at least two components, enters the valve through the inlet channel (A) in the head part (25), flows along the SMA thread (1) and leaves the valve through the outlet channel at the bottom (34) with the designation C.
- a gas component with a higher thermal conductivity, initially blocked by the Vent i Lve rsch Luß body (21), is present at the inflow channel (32) with the designation B.
- the gas capacity is gas dependent. If the concentrations of the components shift in the gas mixture, this leads to a change in the thermal conductivity with a constant flow. The one shown uses this effect
- a binary gas mixture for example, constantly flows through the connection A to the output C. If the component with the higher thermal conductivity in the mixture is depleted, the conductivity decreases, the SMA wire (1) increases its temperature and shortens, the closure element (21) stands out from the valve seat (22), whereby a flow cross-section of the inflow channel (32) is opened for the component with the higher thermal conductivity and the mixture is adjusted again to constant mixture concentrations.
- Figure 6 shows a Heidelbergbi ld.
