A fluidic valve assembly is disposed in a thermal management system for an internal combustion engine, and includes a unitary housing including a first rotary valve, a second rotary valve and a thirdrotary valve. The first, second and third rotary valves include a respective first, second and third rotatable valve body that is coupled to a respective first, second and third actuator. The first, second and third rotary valves are disposed to regulate fluidic flow between heat exchange elements of the thermal management system. The second and third rotary valves are coaxially disposed about a first axis of rotation and the first rotary valve is coaxially disposed about a second axis of rotation, with the first axis of rotation being non-parallel to the second axis of rotation. 流体阀组件布置在用于内燃机的热管理系统中，并且包括体式壳体，该体式壳体包括第旋转阀、第二旋转阀和第三旋转阀。第、第二和第三旋转阀包括联接到相应的第、第二和第三致动器的相应的第、第二和第三可旋转阀体。第、第二和第三旋转阀布置成调节热管理系统的热交换元件之间的流体流动。第二和第三旋转阀围绕第旋转轴线同轴地布置，并且第旋转阀围绕第二旋转轴线同轴地布置，其中第旋转轴线不平行于第二旋转轴线。
