  • Valve unit for a vehicle thermal management system, a vehicle thermal management system, and a method for operating a valve unit
    Patent number: 12253179
    Abstract: A valve unit for a vehicle thermal management system. The valve unit includes a first valve body, a second valve body, and a housing structure. The first valve body and the second valve body are arranged within the housing structure and rotatably arranged in relation to the housing structure between different valve positions around a common rotational axis. The first valve body is connected to an actuator for rotational displacement of the first valve body around the rotational axis, and the second valve body is connected to the first valve body via a spring. The second valve body is configured for being rotatably displaced around the rotational axis by the spring upon rotational displacement of the first valve body. The housing structure includes a first mixing chamber arranged in connection to the first valve body and a second mixing chamber arranged in connection to the second valve body.
