Abstract
Abstract A valve arrangement which assumes at least two positions and a monitoring system which is to monitor the functional performance of the valve arrangement. A valve closing body is connected to a slider which slides in sealing fashion in the opening to be closed by the valve closing body so that the opening is not set free until after lifting of the valve closing body and the slide sets free the opening.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A valve arrangement, said valve arrangement including a valve body adapted to assume at least two positions in a flow chamber for the purpose of controlling fluid flow through a fluid flow passage, a monitor means for monitoring said at least two positions of said valve arrangement for determining in which position said valve arrangement is positioned, a slide means secured to said valve body and movable in said fluid flow passage when said valve body is unseated from said fluid flow passage and moved to one of said at least two positions, said slide means closing said fluid flow passage against fluid flow until said slide means is free of said fluid flow passage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
A valve arrangement, said valve arrangement including a valve body adapted to assume at least two positions in a flow chamber for the purpose of controlling fluid flow through a fluid flow passage, a monitor means for monitoring said at least two positions of said valve arrangement for determining in which position said valve arrangement is positioned, a slide means secured to said valve body and movable in said fluid flow passage when said valve body is unseated from said fluid flow passage and moved to one of said at least two positions, said slide means closing said fluid flow passage against fluid flow until said slide means is free of said fluid flow passage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A valve arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the valve arrangement is operated by a magnetic device which operates said valve slide and said valve body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A valve arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the valve arrangement opens and closes said fluid flow passage due to dependence upon a pressure difference between said slide means and said valve body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A valve arrangement according to claim 3 which includes an electromagnetically actuatable operating device which operates the valve.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A valve arrangement according to claim 2, characterized in that the operating device is separated from any fluid operated parts respectively and includes a rod which displaces the valve body and slide and which is actuated by the operating device.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
A valve arrangement according to claim 4, characterized in that the operating device is separated from any fluid operated parts respectively and includes a rod which displaces the valve body and slide and which is actuated by the operating device.
