Abstract

See full text

The electrically operable ceramic valve of a beverage machine comprises at least one inlet (2), at least one outlet (4), and at least one liquid flow channel (8) extending between the inlet and the outlet, for controlling a liquid flow from the inlet to the outlet. The ceramic valve further comprises a first ceramic subhousing (16) and a second ceramic subhousing (18) through which the liquid flow channel extends and which are designed to be displaceable along each other by means of an electric drive. The liquid flow channel comprises a bend (8) extending at least for a part in the second subhousing, while in an opened condition of the valve the liquid flow channel, upstream of the second subhousing and downstream of the second subhousing, extends in at least the first subhousing. The second subhousing is displaced along the first subhousing by means of the electric drive for controlling the magnitude of the liquid flow.
