A valve assembly for influencing operating fluid flows in a motorized vehicle, where the valve assembly includes: A valve housing with a main housing body and a housing lid, A fluid line arrangement with at least two fluid lines, A valve body configured as tapering along an actuating axis which is accommodated rotatably about the actuating axis between at least two fluid lines of the fluid line arrangement in such a way that through rotation of the valve body about the actuating axis, a flow-connection state of the at least two fluid lines proceeding in different spatial regions with each other is modifiable, and A pre-tensioning means arranged between the housing lid and the valve body which loads the valve body along the actuating axis,
wherein it is provided that between the valve body and the main housing body there is arranged a guide shell surrounding the valve body, where the valve body is loaded through the pre-tensioning means towards the guide shell along a first pre-tensioning force path, where the guide shell is loaded through the housing lid towards the main housing body along a second pre-tensioning force path.

A multi-port rotary plug valve may be used in a fluid delivery system of a vehicle to control flow of coolant fluid between a radiator, an electric drive motor, a battery, vehicle electronics, and one or more bypass lines. The valve may include a valve body that has ports at two or more levels along a height dimension of the valve body and a plug assembly that is rotatably disposed in the valve body. In addition, the valve may include a single-piece, conical seal disposed between the valve body and the plug assembly that is free of seams or joints.

A gas grill is disclosed having a gas control valve with a push to sear feature. The gas control valve has a housing with a valve core rotatably disposed within the housing. A sear valve is disposed within the valve core. A user rotates the valve core within the housing to selectively align a gas inlet port with an inlet passage and to align a sear gas port and a sear gas flow passage. The sear valve has a sear valve element which is selectively movable relative to the valve core to selectively pass a sear gas through a sear gas port and a sear flow passage to the forward end of the valve housing, and then to the grill. A bias member, preferably a coil spring, is mounted between the sear valve element and the valve core for urging the sear valve element to a closed position.

An apparatus for sealing at least one hub bore of a multi-bore fluid hub associated with a wellhead assembly includes a plug body having a plug bore opening on an outer mating surface. A plug bore extends from a first end of the plug body to the plug bore opening. The plug body is selectively insertable into a hub housing of the multi-bore fluid hub. An insert is in engagement with the outer mating surface and is moveable relative to the plug body between an unengaged position, and an engaged position where the insert seals across one of the hub bores. A stem member is coupled to the plug body and is moveable to selectively rotate the plug body within the multi-bore fluid hub so that the plug bore opening aligns with one of the hub bores and the insert aligns with another of the hub bores.

A drug administration valve (100) comprises a valve housing (200) having a plurality of drug inlets (D1 to D4) for receiving drug fluids, such as cytostatic, one flushing inlet (F) for receiving a flushing fluid, and an outlet (O). A valve member (300) rotationally arranged in the housing has a passageway (320; 321) presenting a single inlet (322) and a single outlet (324).The valve member (300) presents a plurality of drug positions for guiding an associated drug fluid to the outlet (O), and one or more flushing positions for guiding a flushing fluid through the same passageway (320; 321) as the drug fluids in order to flush said passageway (320; 321) from any drug residuals. The valve member (300) is prevented from rotating from one drug position to another drug position without passing one of said flushing positions

A stopcock, comprising a housing element defining a central bore and at least first, second and third ports; and a handle element which is selectably positionable relative to the housing element; at least one of the housing element and the handle element defining: a first fluid flow passageway communicating between two of the at least first, second and third ports; a second fluid flow passageway communicating between at least two of the at least first, second and third ports, and a fluid flow guide associated with the second fluid flow passageway, the fluid flow guide extending radially towards an inner facing wall of the central bore.

A rotary valve 1 comprising a stator 3 and a rotor 5, wherein the stator comprises a plurality of connection ports (17a-17l) and orifices (19a-19l) and the rotor comprises a plurality of pairs of rotor valve orifices (23a-23h) joined by transfer channels (25a-25d). The rotor is able to be placed in different working positions whereby fluids can be fed to, for example, chromatography columns and/or can be bypassed through or around the valve. The invention also relates to a system comprising two components such as chromatography columns and a rotary valve.

A diverter/mixing valve is provided that includes a main outer housing and a barrel assembly disposed inside the main outer housing. When actuated, an actuator rotates the barrel assembly between an open end inlet position where a first fluid stream flows into a first inlet port and a second fluid stream is blocked from flowing into a second inlet port, and an open side inlet position where the second fluid stream flows into the second inlet port and the first fluid stream is blocked from flowing into the first inlet port.
