More Information
Summary: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 third rotary 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.
