Abstract:
A control valve including a valve body, a chamber arranged inside the valve body, a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a closing arrangement for regulating the flow of fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet via the chamber. The closing arrangement has a closed state in which no fluid, or only a leakage flow, is allowed to flow through the chamber, a first open state in which fluid is allowed to flow through the chamber, and at least one second open state in which a lower flow of fluid is allowed to flow through the chamber compared to when the closing arrangement is in its first open state. Between the closed state and the second open state, the closing arrangement is configured to allow fluid to flow through the chamber in accordance with a first valve characteristic function.

Claim (Index 2):
A control valve according to  claim 1 , wherein said closing arrangement comprises a closing member and a closing member receiving means having at least a closing member receiving portion,\n wherein said closing member is adapted to be moved away from said closing member receiving portion thereby providing a flow-through section through which fluid is allowed to flow, wherein, in said closed state, said closing member is arranged in a closed position in which said closing member is in sealing contact with said closing member receiving portion in order to allow no fluid, or only a leakage flow, to flow via said closing arrangement, and in said first open state, said closing member is arranged in a first open position in which said closing member is distant from said closing member receiving portion, and in said second open state, said closing member is arranged in a second open position in which closing member is less distant from said closing member receiving portion compared to when said closing member is in its first open position.
