6.1 Valve Switching Functions
The double-seat valve’s function is characterized through the following described switching
statuses.
6.1.1 Production – Valve Closed
• The various process media flow through the upper and lower piping system or
valve housing.
• Both valve disks are in the final position in the seat area and seal the piping
systems against each other.
• The leakage chamber, which is connected with the free environment, is
formed between both valve disks.
• When there are sealing problems in the seat area, the respective medium can
flow through the leakage chamber and the leakage outlet to the outside.

6.1.2 CIP or Production Valve Open
• Through the compressed air supply at Pos. A (Page 21, Fig. 7/8) the lower
valve disk moves from its final position against the upper valve disk. At the
same time, the seat sealing is maintained. The double-seat valve switches
leak-free.
• The leakage chamber between the now adjacent valve disks is sealed via the
leakage chamber sealing.
The valve disks travel into the opened valve position.
• When the valve is closed, the valve disks now travel against the upper valve
seat.
• The lower disk, maintaining its seat sealing, travels into the final position and
at the same time continually opens the leakage chamber.
