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 14):
A control valve according to  claim 11 , wherein when said valve plug is positioned between its closed position and its second open position, said valve plug allows fluid flow through said chamber and through said valve insert over said first characteristic controlling portions, and wherein a change of said valve plug position anywhere between its closed position and its second position results in a change of fluid flow through said chamber in accordance with said first valve characteristic function.
