Fallschirmventil

A fallschirmventil, also known as a parachute valve or poppet valve, is a type of valve used in fluid systems to control the flow of liquids or gases. It is named for its resemblance to a parachute in its open position. The valve consists of a disc, known as the poppet, which is held in place by a spring. When the system pressure exceeds a certain threshold, the poppet is forced open, allowing fluid to flow through the valve. Once the pressure drops below the threshold, the spring pushes the poppet back into its closed position, stopping the flow. Fallschirmventils are commonly used in hydraulic systems, such as those found in heavy machinery and automotive applications, to regulate pressure and prevent overloading. They are also used in pneumatic systems, such as those found in industrial automation and compressed air systems, to control the flow of compressed air. The design of a fallschirmventil allows for precise control over fluid flow, making it a valuable component in many industrial and mechanical systems.
