A testing cap for a valve body includes a base configured to releasably attach to the valve body and to cover an opening in the valve body. The opening is configured to receive a valve cartridge and the base covers the opening in place of the valve cartridge. The testing cap includes a structure extending from the base. The structure is configured to be oriented relative to the valve body in a first orientation and a second orientation. The structure allows fluid to enter the valve body through an inlet port in the valve body and exit the valve body through an outlet port in the valve body when the structure is oriented in the first orientation. The structure covers at least one of the inlet port and the outlet port when the structure is oriented in the second orientation, thereby preventing fluid flow through the valve body.

A vehicle powertrain thermal management system for distributing thermal energy to vehicle powertrain components, including an engine and a transmission. The system for managing heat energy includes a coolant pump, a first control valve, a second control valve, a radiator, a heater core, and a transmission oil heat exchanger. The first control valve has an inlet that is in fluid communication with the engine coolant outlet. The first control valve also has a first control valve outlet. The second control valve has a first inlet, a second inlet, a first outlet, a second outlet and a third outlet. Heat energy produced by the engine is transferred to the radiator through control of the first control valve and to at least one of the heater core, and the transmission oil heat exchanger through the control of the second control valve.

In accordance with the present inventive concept, there is provided a valve for administration of a plurality of drug fluids, such as cytostatics. The valve comprises: a housing having a plurality of circumferentially distributed primary inlets for receiving a respective one of the drug fluids and a secondary inlet for receiving a secondary fluid, such as a neutral fluid, an outlet, and a valve member arranged in the housing. The housing has a plurality of primary valve positions in each of which an associated one of the primary inlets is connected to the outlet, and a plurality of intermediary valve positions in each of which the secondary inlet is connected to the outlet. Moreover, the valve member has a outer surface sealingly engaging an inner surface of the housing, such that the primary and secondary inlets are sealingly connected to openings arranged in the outer surface of the valve member in each of the primary and intermediary valve positions, respectively.

The present invention discloses a bypass valve and a water purifier comprising the bypass valve. The bypass valve comprises a valve housing and a valve core disposed in an inner space of the valve housing and capable of rotating in the inner space around an axial direction. The valve core comprises a first inlet and a first outlet disposed at intervals in an axial direction, a first annular seal fitted on an outer side surface of the valve core between the first inlet and the first outlet, and a first channel disposed within the valve core and communicating with the first inlet and the first outlet. The valve housing comprises a first opening and a second opening disposed at intervals in an axial direction, the inner space communicating with the first opening and the second opening, and a bypass opening provided on a side wall of the valve housing between the first opening and the second opening and communicating with the inner space and an outer space outside the valve housing. The bypass opening and the first circular seal are configured in such a manner that, when the valve core rotates, the first annular seal is capable of partitioning the bypass opening into two parts, and an axial position of a part of the first annular seal in contact with the bypass opening varies with the rotation of the valve core.

A multi-port valve is disclosed that includes a valve body having an outer surface, an inner surface that defines an internal cavity, an upper end, a lower end, a stop member extending from the upper end, a plurality of output ports for transmitting a liquid to respective outputs, and an input port for receiving the liquid from an input. The multi-port valve also includes a directional component positioned in the internal cavity and configured to be rotated relative to the valve body, where the directional component includes a stop member and defines an outer surface that includes a channel for directing the liquid from the input port to one of the plurality of output ports when the directional component is in a first rotational position and a blocking extension that extends through the channel to prevent the channel from completely extending around the circumference. The multi-port valve also includes a cover rotationally coupled to the directional component for rotating the directional component relative to the valve body.

A valve includes a housing, a valve body, a seal member mounting groove, and a seal member which is inserted into the seal member mounting groove from an insertion opening. The seal member is configured to come into contact with the valve body and a housing sealing surface when the valve body closes the housing opening so as to enable the valve body to close a housing opening in a sealed manner. The seal member mounting groove further includes a seal member limiting structure. The seal member limiting structure is disposed on a groove wall. The seal member limiting structure is configured to restrict movement of the seal member toward the valve body relative to the housing.
