Abstract: A valve for the control of a fluid flow may be provided, the valve including a connection block having a cylinder-symmetrical recess, where at least one first and a second entry channel as well as a first and a second exit channel run out in the peripheral surface of the recess. A control pin, which is fitted into the recess, is rotatable about a rotation axis, having at least two through-channels and connecting different ones of the entry and exit channels of the connection block to one another depending on its angular position. A first through-channel in the pin, with respect to the rotation axis, may exclusively connect channels running out at a first axial height, to one another, and a second through-channel exclusively connecting channels running out at a second axial height, to one another.

Abstract: A valve for the control of a fluid flow, with a connection block (24) having a cylinder-symmetrical recess (25), wherein at least one first and a second entry channel (20, 22, 30, 35) as well as a first and a second exit channel (21, 23, 32, 37) run out in the peripheral surface of the recess. A control pin (29), which is fitted into the recess, is rotatable about a rotation axis (29a), having at least two through-channels (38, 39, 40, 41, 42) and connecting different ones of the entry and exit channels of the connection block to one another depending on its angular position.
