Abstract

A valve disk with a disk-like valve body, which has a front with two protruding hubs and a back opposite the front. In order to permit improved flow around the valve disk and reduction of eddies on the outflow side, arc-like recesses running along an inside surface of both hubs are arranged on the front of valve body to deflect the flow around hubs.
