Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009103325A2] The invention relates to a rotating valve, comprising an inlet region (6b, 19) having a plurality of stationary separate inlets (6c, 19a) for several flows of a fluid and an outlet region having an in particular identical plurality of stationary separate outlets (6d, 17a) for the flows of the fluid, wherein between the inlet region (6b, 19) and the outlet region a switching region having a switching member (16, 31, 24) that can be rotated about an axis is provided, wherein in a first position of the switching member (16) the plurality of inlets (6c, 19a) are connected to the plurality of outlets (6d, 17a) in a first association, and wherein in a second position of the switching member (16) the plurality of inlets (6c, 19a) are connected to the plurality of outlets (6d, 17a) in a second association, wherein the switching member (16) comprises a plurality of openings (19a), through which the fluid flows flow axially in the direction of the rotation axis and which are moved together with the switching member, said openings (16a) alternately covering a plurality of stationary, axially directed openings (19a) in the course of the rotation of the switching member (16), wherein the different associations of the inlets (19a) with the outlets (17a) are carried out by the alternating covering of the axially directed openings (16a, 19a).
