VALVE SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR FOR CONTROLLING THE SUPPLY OF A FLUID FROM A SUPPLY SOURCE TO A USER APPARATUS

摘要

The valve system (10; 110) comprises: a housing (12; 112) including an inlet joint (24; 124) and an outlet joint (26; 126) intended to receive an incoming fluid flow and to discharge said fluid flow, respectively; and a middle section (30; 130) in fluid communication with the inlet joint (24; 124) and the outlet joint (26; 126), respectively; inlet and outlet valve devices (14; 114; 214; 314; 18; 118) arranged between the inlet joint (24; 124) and the middle section (30; 130) and between the middle section (30; 130) and the outlet joint (26; 126), respectively; and electromagnetic actuating devices (16; 116) designed to be passed through by an electric excitation current having an intensity (I) which can be modulated so that the actuating means (16; 116) arrange the inlet valve means (14; 114; 214; 314) in a modulated open condition, where said fluid flow rate (F) increases with an increase in the intensity (I) of said current. The electromagnetic actuating devices (16; 116) are designed to be activated by a current with an intensity (I) which can be modulated within a first and a second range of values where said actuating devices (16; 116) actuate the inlet valve devices (14; 114; 214; 314) in a first and second modulated open condition, respectively, where said fluid flow rate (F) is varied in accordance with a first and a second section of a characteristic curve (C1; C2), respectively, which increase with an increase in the intensity (I) of said current.
