A bypass valve assembly includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a flow passageway to allow flow of a liquid from the inlet to the outlet and a valve seat disposed about the flow passageway between the inlet and the outlet. A movable poppet is disposed in the housing to engage the valve seat in a closed position and to disengage the valve seat in an open position when pressure of the liquid in the flow passageway exceeds a preset value to allow flow of the liquid through the flow passageway. A rotatable flow control valve is disposed in the housing between the inlet and the outlet. An actuator is coupled to the flow control valve to actuate and move the flow control valve to control flow of the liquid between the inlet and the outlet when the poppet is engaged with the valve seat.

A blood flow environment simulation device is disclosed, including: a liquid reservoir (1) for storing liquid; a vascular simulation tube (4); a pump (2) for pumping liquid; a plurality of circulation tubes (7, 11, 12), which form a liquid circulation path together with the vascular simulation tube; and a valve (6) located in the circulation path, having a valve inlet (17) and a valve outlet (18), wherein the area of the valve inlet (17) is variable to change the dynamic parameters of the fluid in the vascular simulation tube (4) over time. The present disclosure also relates to medical equipment that includes a blood flow environment simulation device as described.
