Abstract
A valve (1) has a housing base (2) and a valve seat (18) supported by the housing base (2). An annular slide (12) is displaceable linearly relative to the housing base (2) between first and second operating positions. A sealing edge (17) of the annular slide (12) bears in a sealing manner against the valve seat (18) when the annular slide (12) is in the first operating position. However, the annular slide (12) is raised from the valve seat (18) in the second operating position to enable flow through the annular slide (12). At least one flow deflecting element (27) is provided to deflect a fluid flowing between the sealing edge (17) and the valve seat (18).
