Abstract
A pressure limiting valve includes an inlet and an outlet for a fluid, which includes a valve body which cooperates with a valve seat in such a manner that it opens or closes a flow connection for the fluid between the inlet and the outlet when a limiting pressure is reached. The valve also includes a spring element which acts on the valve body and loads the latter. A container for a liquid is provided which is arranged and designed in such a manner that through its thermal expansion, the liquid varies the loading of the valve body which is caused by the spring element, and thus varies the limiting pressure in dependence on the temperature of the liquid.
