Orifice element and valve with orifice element

An orifice element for injecting a medium, the orifice element comprising:

• a) an upper plate, the upper plate having at least one injection orifice;
• b) a lower plate, the lower plate
• i) being arranged downstream from the upper plate, and
• ii) having a passthrough opening and a jet splitter which divides the passthrough opening into at least two passthrough openings;
• c) an additional plate, the additional plate
• i) being located downstream from the lower plate, and
• ii) having an outlet orifice, the outlet orifice at least partially overlapping the at least two passthrough openings,
• wherein the at least one injection orifice of the upper plate is arranged such that the at least one injection orifice at least partially overlaps the at least two passthrough openings and the jet splitter.

A valve for supplying at least a fuel, the valve comprising:

• a) a valve closure part;
• b) a valve-seat surface having a shape corresponding to the valve closure part and being located in a downstream direction from the valve closure part;
• c) a thin, plate-shaped orifice element arranged downstream from the valve-seat surface, the orifice element comprising
• i) an upper plate facing the valve-seat surface and having at least one injection orifice, and
• ii) at least one lower plate further in the downstream direction, the at least one lower plate having at least two passthrough openings and a jet splitter which is formed in the at least one lower plate and which separates the at least two passthrough openings, the at least one lower plate having an upper end face, in the upper end face of the at least one lower plate a cross-section of the jet splitter being smaller than each cross-section of the at least two passthrough openings,
• wherein the at least one injection orifice of the upper plate at least partially overlaps the at least two passthrough openings and the jet splitter.
