The invention relates to a method for cleaning a valve sealing arrangement under dynamic stress, and an apparatus for carrying out said method, each sealing arrangement sealing two spaces from one another by means of two seals, separated from one another, in a serial arrangement, between or in which spaces there is arranged in a moveable manner a valve part whose jacket surface interacts with the seals and thereby prevents fluids overflowing from one space to the other, an annular space, enclosing the valve part, being provided between the seals, which annular space is bounded on the outside by a housing of the valve and which is connected via at least in each case one connection and one outlet opening to the environment of the valve. The invention ensures, inter alia, that even those critical regions of the slots for the seals which can be accessed only with difficulty are reliably subjected to the cleaning agent. In terms of the method, this is achieved, inter alia, in that the seal which comes into contact with the fluid to be sealed off is supplied with cleaning fluid from the spaces on both sides of the contact surfaces, up to its contact surfaces (provided temporarily at the sealing points) with the valve part on the one hand and the housing on the other hand. The apparatus for carrying out the method is characterised, inter alia, in that each seal (70, 71) is edged in each case on its side facing the space inside the valve housing part (1 or 2) to be sealed by a fluid-permeable boundary wall (41), and in that each of the seals has a limited mobility in the direction of movement of the valve part (4). <IMAGE> |
