Abstract
A double-seat valve with an upper valve stem and a lower valve stem which, on the end, each have valve sealing bodies, each of which valve sealing bodies has a seal which is located on the balance diameter. One of the valve sealing bodies also has a center seal which is used to seal a leakage space when the valve stems are in the open position. The center seal also lies on the balance diameter. The other valve sealing body has a sealing collar, against which sealing collar the center seal is in contact when the valve stems are in the open position, so that even in this case, a sealing of the leakage space is guaranteed.
