Abstract
A drive device for a double seat valve having, between flow paths, a seat and first and second valve disks, where first, second and third pistons movable in a sealed manner by alternating pressure pulses for initiating an opening cycle and cleaning cycles of the valve disks each are provided in a drive device housing, where the pistons can be selectively connected with valve disk couple elements so as to transmit movements. Pressure transmission paths lead into the drive device housing to chambers defined by the pistons, the second piston being guided in a sealed manner separate from the first piston in the drive device housing, sealing areas of the first and second pistons define a first chamber in the drive device housing, and at least one pressure transmission path leads, for the cleaning cycle of the second valve disk, laterally and transversely to the common axis of the drive device housing and the valve chamber at least directly into the first chamber.
