Abstract: A fluid valve system including a housing defining a plurality of flow paths and a flow control member moveably disposed and selectively positionable within the housing. The flow control member includes a passageway having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, wherein a cross-sectional area of the fluid inlet is larger than a cross-sectional area of the fluid outlet. When the flow control member is in a first position, a flow of fluid through a first flow path is permitted. When the flow control member is in a second position, the flow of fluid through a second flow path is permitted. When the flow control member is in intermediate third positions between the first position and the second position and/or a fourth position, the flow of fluid through the first flow path and the second flow path is permitted.

Abstract: A fluid valve system including a housing defining a plurality of flow paths and a flow control assembly disposed in the housing. The flow control assembly includes a stationary member having a plurality of openings formed therein, and a rotatable member provided with a flow member. When the rotatable member is in a first position, the flow control assembly permits a flow of a first fluid through a first flow path and a flow of a second fluid through a second flow path, and when the rotatable member in a second position, the flow control assembly permits a flow of the first fluid through a third flow path and a flow of the second fluid through a fourth flow path.

Abstract: An electronic fluid valve system including an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder concentrically disposed within the outer cylinder, and at least one fluid valve assembly disposed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. The at least one fluid valve assembly is selectively positionable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the second position the at least one fluid valve assembly is configured to selectively rotate with the inner cylinder.

Abstract: A rotary valve includes a rotary valve body defining a passageway from a first passageway port at an axial end surface of the rotary valve body to a second passageway port at an outer circumferential surface thereof. A valve housing has an inner surface defining each of an opening rotatably receiving the rotary valve body therein, a first housing port through which a fluid flows transverse to the axis of rotation of the rotary valve body, and a second housing port through which the fluid flows transverse to the axis of rotation of the rotary valve body. A flow path is formed between the inner surface of the valve housing and the outer surface of the rotary valve body with the flow path providing fluid communication between the first housing port of the valve housing and the first passageway port of the rotary valve housing.

Abstract: A rotary disc valve includes a valve housing having an inner surface defining an opening, a first housing port, a second housing port, and a third housing port. A rotary disc valve assembly is disposed within the opening and includes a fixed disc configured to remain stationary and a rotary disc configured to rotate relative to the fixed disc. The fixed disc includes a first flow opening providing selective fluid communication between the first housing port and the second housing port and a second flow opening providing selective fluid communication between the first housing port and the third housing port. The rotary disc defines a flow passage for distributing a fluid through the first flow opening and/or the second flow opening. A co-planar arrangement is maintained between engaging faces of the fixed disc and the rotary disc to form a fluid-tight seal therebetween.
