Abstract
A valve for controlling at least one first flow of at least one fluid, in particular, within a motor vehicle, along a first fluid path from at least one valve inlet to at least one valve outlet, comprising at least one valve seat that is arranged—with regard to the fluid flow—between the valve inlet and the valve outlet, wherein the valve seat can be closed at least in some regions in at least one closed position by means of at least one valve member.
Claims15
A method for controlling a flow in a valve, the method comprising:
- controlling at least one first flow of fluid along a first fluid path from at least one valve inlet to at least one first valve outlet;
- closing at least one valve seat at least in one region in at least one closed position by at least one valve member, wherein the at least one valve seat is arranged with respect to the at least one first fluid flow between the at least one valve inlet and the at least one valve outlet;
- separating out stains present in the at least one first flow of fluid in at least in some regions in the at least one valve seat or the at least one valve member, wherein the separating out stains occurs in the at least one first flow of fluid in the at least one closed position along at least one second fluid path from the at least one valve inlet to at least one other valve device, wherein the at least one other valve device comprises at least one three-way valve or at least one solenoid valve.
A method for a valve controlling flow of a fluid in a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving a fluid flow of the fluid from at least one valve inlet;
- providing a first fluid path for the fluid flow from the at least one valve inlet to at least one valve outlet;
- blocking the first fluid path by closing at least one valve seat that is arranged along the first fluid path between the at least one valve inlet and the at least one valve outlet;
- separating stains from any of the fluid that is blocked in a second fluid path from the at least one valve inlet to at least one other valve device, wherein the at least one other valve device comprises at least one three-way valve or at least one solenoid valve.
