Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1273340A1] Homogenization valve for homogenizing a fluid, comprising a fluid inlet (7) for supplying the fluid under pressure, a fluid outlet (8) for discharging homogenized fluid, a first seat element (2), and at least one intermediate seat element (5), which seat elements together leave clear a feed-through channel that is situated around an axis (12) of the homogenization valve and connects to the fluid inlet (7) or fluid outlet (8), and a valve element (3) that is positioned opposite the intermediate seat element (5), in which at least during operation homogenization passage gaps (10) are present between wall surfaces of opposite seat elements (25), and between wall surfaces of the valve element (3) and the intermediate seat element (5) situated opposite it, which passage gaps (10) are in fluid communication with the fluid inlet (7), on the one hand, and the fluid outlet (8), on the other hand. At least one intermediate seat element (5) is rotatably mounted in such a way that during operation a fluid flow causes the intermediate seat element (5) to rotate relative to the valve element (3) and the first seat element (2) respectively. <IMAGE>
