  • Patent number: 12222041
    Abstract: A fluid valve, in particular for a motor vehicle and/or a temperature control system, having a housing and a valve body disposed in the housing so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis. The housing has a first port and a third port disposed on opposite side of a normal plane in relation to the rotation axis and a second port which is radially spaced apart from the rotation axis and in the direction of the rotation axis is disposed between the first and the third port. The valve body in at least one rotary position connects at least two ports of the housing to one another, and in at least one other rotary position does not connect the two ports to one another.

  • Patent number: 11885255
    Abstract: A multiport valve, having a housing having at least two connectors, a control element for blocking at least one of the connectors, the control element disposed to be rotatable in a recess of the housing. An external contour of the control element has a compression portion which in at least one first position of the control element compresses a first seal disposed on a first one of the connectors. The external contour of the control element has a decompression portion that has a smaller radius than the compression portion and in at least one further position of the control element lies opposite the first seal such that the control element compresses the first seal to a lesser extent than in the first position.
