An electrically operated valve capable of quickly achieving reliable switching between multiple flow paths. The electrically operated valve includes a driving mechanism, an executing mechanism and a valve body assembly, wherein the driving mechanism includes a bushing and an output shaft located in the bushing, the executing mechanism includes a valve stem connected to the output shaft and a valve core connected to the valve stem, and the valve core is provided with a first flow channel and a second flow channel; the valve body assembly includes a valve body and a valve seat, the bushing forms a space isolated from the outside, the output shaft and a connecting portion between the valve stem and the output shaft are located in this space, and the valve body has a cavity, four through holes and a plug port.

A housing has a housing main body that defines an internal space therein, an inlet port that fluidly connects the internal space and an outside of the housing main body to each other, and a relief port that fluidly connects the internal space and the outside of the housing main body to each other. Coolant water flows into the housing through the inlet port. A relief valve is disposed in the relief port and configured to selectively allow and block fluid communication between the internal space and the outside of the housing main body via the relief port by selectively opening and closing the relief port in accordance with conditions. A valve has a valve body rotatable about a rotation axis in the internal space, and a shaft disposed along the rotation axis. A covering portion is configured to cover the relief valve not to be visible through the inlet port.

A rotary valve has a valve plug that is rotatable in a valve body about a rotational axis. Surface features of the valve plug and surface features of the valve body cooperate to provide a bearing by which the valve plug is rotatably supported with respect to the valve body. In addition, each of the valve plug and the valve body include a plurality of annular projections that encircle the plain bearing and axially overlap one another so as to form a labyrinth that surrounds the bearing. The labyrinth forms a fluid path that collects abrasive particles suspended in the fluid passing through the valve, whereby wear of the valve is reduced.

A ball valve for use in a respiration circuit proving for selective gas flow between at least two outlets of the ball valve and a respiration circuit including the ball valve.

A modular valve system having fixed valve ports with frame openings on the exterior of each port. Corresponding connectors or plugs are designed to fit within the valve ports and be locked in place by a clip passing through the framed openings and around the connector or plug. The internal valve component may be electrically or mechanically controlled. The modular valve system may be connected to a vehicle coolant system to control fluid flow to a heat exchanger or bypassing the heat exchanger.

A coolant flow control valve (CFCV) which includes an actuator having a microcontroller which drives an electric motor, such as a brushless DC motor. The motor drives a gear train, and the gear train drives a valve. The motor and gear train are used to rotate the valve to one or more positions, and thus direct coolant (passing through the valve) between ports. The valve is rotated to different positions to create various flow paths, such that coolant is directed between the different flow paths. The valve is a rotor having three different channels. The CFCV may also include a compound valve, where two valves are connected to and driven by one actuator. The valves may be of different shapes to accommodate inlet and outlet ports of various configurations.

A seal for use in a fluid control valve includes: a first, elastically deformable, plastic part; and a second plastic part configured as a hard seal element and connected to the first plastic part. The first and the second plastic parts form a seal assembly having a first frontal end configured to bear in a sealing manner on an actuatable valve body of the fluid control valve, and a second frontal end configured to bear in a sealing manner on a valve housing of the fluid control valve, wherein at least the first frontal end has a first end side having an encircling projecting bead configured to seal against the actuatable valve body.

A coolant control valve is provided that includes at least one actuator, a first rotary valve body and a second rotary valve body, each rotary valve body driveably connected to the at least one actuator. The second rotary valve body is arranged non-coaxially to the first rotary valve body.

A deaeration valve includes a housing and a ball in fluid communication with housing. The ball can include a body, a seat defining a bleed passage therein, and a deaeration pin slidably disposed within the bleed passage. Further, the deaeration pin may include a head, a retention feature, and a shaft positioned between the head and the retention feature.

A control valve includes: a valve housing; a coolant port formed in the valve housing and through which coolant inflows; an oil cooler port formed in the valve housing; a heater port formed in the valve housing; a radiator port formed in the valve housing; a bypass flow path through which the coolant port and the heater port communicate; and a ball valve, wherein the coolant port and the oil cooler port selectively communicate and the coolant port and the radiator port selectively communicate while the ball valve rotates inside the valve housing, wherein a valve inlet which communicates with the coolant port is formed in the ball valve, and a first section outlet, a second section outlet, and a third section outlet, which selectively communicate with the valve inlet are formed consecutively on an outer periphery of the ball valve.
