  • Publication number: 20240093922
    Abstract: An open-close valve unit includes a block body, a first open-close valve, and a second open-close valve. The block body includes a first main flow path and a second main flow path. The first main flow path has a first opening and a second opening. The second main flow path has a third opening and a fourth opening. The first open-close valve includes a first valve body movable to open and close the first main flow path. The second open-close valve includes a second valve body movable to open and close the second main flow path. The first open-close valve is in an open state when in an energized state. When the first open-close valve is in the energized state, the second open-close valve is in a de-energized state, and placed in an open state by a dynamic pressure of the fluid flowing in the second main flow path.
