<p>A valve assembly, in particular a reducing valve assembly, comprises a first energy dissipating means with a plurality of apertures, a second energy dissipating means with a plurality of apertures and a valve closing means for opening and closing the valve assembly. The geometry of the plurality of apertures of the first energy dissipating means and the geometry of the plurality of the apertures of the second energy dissipating means is such that independently of the opening state of the valve assembly, the pressure drops at the first and second energy dissipating means are better balanced to be able to reduce the effect of cavitation on the housing of the valve assembly.</p> |
