ABSTRACT:
A valve including a housing, a rotatable body which can turn inside the housing, and two sealing rings made of sealing material, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene or a similar plastic. The sealing rings are arranged in an axially spaced manner in the housing and rest against the spherical outer surface of the rotatable body and provide a sealing function. The valve is designed with at least one sealing ring having a sealing lip which lies essentially tangential to an outer surface of the rotatable body at a contact surface, and a junction region of the sealing lip is located on a radial interior of the valve housing and is attached to a base body of the sealing ring. The valve is designed such that increased pressure causes the tangential contact surface of the sealing lip to be urged radially inwardly against the rotatable body so that the rotatable body is supported by the junction region in cases of high stress. In this way the rotatable body can be operated with reduced and reproducible torques.
