METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ELECTRIC VALVE

摘要

The invention relates to a method (50) for controlling an electric valve (1) that comprises a switching means (20) and a conducting means (18), the switching means (20) cooperating with an actuating element (34). According to the invention, the method (50) involves at least the following steps: • controlling (70) the actuating element (34) using a control signal (52); • determining (72) the power consumption of the actuating element (34) using a current measuring means; and • changing (74) the voltage and/or the current of the control signal (52) when it has been determined that the power consumption of the actuating element (34) has dropped.
