  • Patent number: 11143312
    Abstract: An eccentric rotary valve includes valve elements arranged symmetrically around the valve shaft axis, and valve element valve seats and valve body valve seats which are elliptic conical surfaces made of metal. Each valve element has an elliptic spherical surface, an elliptic conical surface, or a completely spherical surface to which one of the valve element valve seats is continuously and steplessly connected. The axes of the valve seats are offset from the valve shaft axis in the valve closing direction such that, when the valve shaft is rotated in the valve opening direction, the valve element valve seats instantly separate from the valve body valve seats. Flow regulating plates are disposed in the valve body between the valve elements to ensure smooth flow of fluid. Ribs are disposed on opposite sides of the valve shaft and forwardly, in the valve opening direction, of the respective valve elements.
