Abstract:
The invention relates to a valve ( 1 ) comprising a main valve ( 2 ), a pilot valve ( 3 ), a housing ( 4 ), an inlet ( 5 ) and an outlet ( 8 ). Opening and closing of the main valve ( 2 ) is controlled by the pilot valve ( 3 ). A pilot valve seat ( 10 ) is arranged in a diaphragm ( 6 ). A pilot chamber ( 11 ) is arranged in the housing ( 4 ) separated from the inlet ( 5 ) and the outlet ( 8 ) by the diaphragm ( 6 ). Task of the invention is to provide a valve with a lower cost. According to the invention a support member ( 17 ) supports the diaphragm ( 6 ), wherein the support member ( 17 ) is guided in the housing, and wherein a radial gap ( 26 ) is arranged between the radially outer end of the diaphragm ( 6 ) and the housing ( 4 ) in a radial direction perpendicular to the opening direction of the pilot valve ( 3 ). Thereby, a cheaper, less resistant material for the diaphragm can be used.
