Abstract
A pressure control valve with a pressurized membrane (5) for closing and opening a gas passage (7) in which a valve chamber (8) pressurized with an ambient pressure (Pamb) is located on the side of membrane (5) that is opposite the gas passage (7) to be closed and opened. The pressure control valve (1) is arranged in such a way that the exit of the gas passage (7) leads directly into a volume with ambient pressure (Pamb). The membrane (5) includes a ventilation hole (9) through which the valve chamber (8) is directly pressurized with ambient pressure (Pamb).
