Abstract
A proportional valve (100) is provided that includes a movable armature (104) within a body (102), with the armature (104) including a poppet (107) and with the body (102) including one or more inflow ports (135) and an outflow bore (123), a valve seat (120) located on a projecting valve seat structure (119), with the valve seat (120) including a valve orifice (130) in fluid communication with the one or more inflow ports (135) and the outflow bore (123), and a flow flange (116) extending from the poppet (107) and including a flow flange wall (117) that surrounds the valve seat (120), forming a flange inflow channel (129) of a predetermined cross-sectional inflow area between the flow flange wall (117) and the valve seat structure (119), wherein the poppet (107) moves between closed and opened positions without changing the predetermined cross-sectional inflow area provided by the inflow channel (129).
