Abstract
A control valve configured to set a process fluid stream of a processing plant can include a valve housing, a valve component, an annular-groove-shaped seal reception, and a seal. The valve housing can include an inlet, an outlet and an aperture extending between the inlet and the outlet along a longitudinal axis. The valve component can be mounted on the valve housing and can be a valve seat and/or a valve cage. The annular-groove-shaped seal reception can be confined by the valve component and the valve housing. The seal can be fit into the seal reception. The valve component and the valve housing can each form a respective ledge protruding in a radial direction to define the annular-groove-shaped seal reception. The ledges can each be configured to confine the seal reception in a respective axial direction.
