Abstract

An electropneumatic pressure transducer. The electropneumatic pressure transducer includes a double-seated valve with a first valve seat disposed between a control pressure chamber and an underpressure connector, and a second valve seat disposed between an atmospheric-pressure connector and the control pressure chamber, and a movable plunger-type armature; a valve closure member; a membrane coupled to the plunger-type armature; and an electromagnetic circuit generating an electromagnetic force acting on the plunger-type armature. The control pressure chamber is selectively connected to one of the atmospheric-pressure connector and the underpressure connector to generate a mixed pressure in the control pressure chamber dependent on a position of the plunger-type armature. The position of the plunger-type armature is dependant on the electromagnetic force and on a pneumatic force acting on the membrane. In a rest state without current flow through the electromagnetic circuit, the valve closure member is seated on the first valve seat and is disposed at a distance from the second valve seat.
