ABSTRACT:
A valve arrangement comprises a valve housing and a shutoff device. The valve housing has a flowthrough passage extending between an inflow opening and an outflow opening. The shutoff device is for closing the flowthrough passage. The shutoff device has a valve seat surrounding the flowthrough passage and a valve cone which is movable in an axial direction perpendicular to the valve seat between an open valve position and a closed valve position. The valve cone corresponds with the valve seat such that, in the closed valve position, sealing surfaces on the valve cone and valve seat come into metallically sealing contact and thus close off the flowthrough passage. Arranged between the valve seat and the valve cone is a soft-sealing seal arrangement which, in the closed valve position, provides an effective seal in addition to the metallic seal effected by the sealing surfaces. The soft-sealing seal arrangement has a sealing element retained on the valve seat. This sealing element is positioned so that, during a closing operation, the valve cone comes into contact against the sealing element before the closed valve position is reached, and as the closing operation proceeds, the sealing element presses against an elastic return force in the direction of the valve seat. The sealing element is configured as an annular disk which in the region of its outer rim is retained on the valve seat and in the region of its inner rim is supported elastically on the valve seat.
