Abstract: A four-way reversing valve for a high capacity reversible heat pump compressor includes a housing with four ports, namely a discharge port, a suction port, an evaporator port and a condenser port. It further includes a conically shaped rotor provided rotatably inside the housing for varying flow paths between the four ports, wherein a large diameter face of the rotor comprises two separated openings, wherein a first opening fluidly connects the large diameter face to a small diameter face of the rotor via a first fluid conduit and a second opening fluidly connects the large diameter face to a radially outer portion of the rotor via a second fluid conduit. The disclosure further discloses a set having two or more four-way reversing valves.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a valve for a refrigeration application, in particular a shut-off and/or regulating valve. The valve includes a bonnet connected to a housing with two fluid openings, a spindle fully penetrating the bonnet and reaching inside the housing, and a piston with an upper guiding and sealing portion with a seal section, a bottom closing portion for opening and closing a fluid passage between the two fluid openings, and a piston tube between the upper guiding and sealing portion and the bottom closing portion. The spindle engages the piston for moving it between a closed position and an open position of the valve and a pressure balancing chamber is provided above and within the piston. The piston is sealed against the bonnet at the upper guiding and sealing portion. An inner surface of the bonnet guiding the upper guiding and sealing portion and/or an outer surface of the piston has a smaller diameter at a bottom portion than at an upper portion.
