Abstract
Filling valve () including: a hollow housing () having a valve seat (); a moving valve rod () slidingly mounted in the housing () and having a sealing surface (), the moving valve rod () and the hollow housing () together defining a liquid chamber (); a liquid inlet () for putting the liquid chamber () into communication with a liquid supply pipe (); a device for putting the valve rod () in a first, full-open position, in which the sealing surface () is spaced from the valve seat (), thereby forming a passage () for the liquid; a device for putting the valve rod () in a second, closed position, in which the sealing surface () is in sealing contact with the valve seat (), thereby closing the passage (), and a device for putting the valve rod () in a third, predetermined, semi-open position in which the sealing surface () is spaced from the valve seat () but closer to the same than in the full-open position.
