3-PORT Valve
27 Jul 23
The invention relates to a 3-port valve for passing fluids therethrough, having a valve body, a port, a first sub-port and a second sub-port, with the port being adjoined by a main line which ends in a connecting region, said first sub-port having a first sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, said second sub-port having a second sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, with at least one valve member being arranged in the connecting region, which valve member can be displaced along a valve member axis between an opening position and a closed position thereof in the connecting region, so that, in a first valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the first sub-port, in a second valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the second sub-port, in a third valve position, the port is fluidically connected to both the first and second sub-ports, in a fourth valve position, the port is fluidically connected neither to the first sub-port nor to the second sub-port.
