ROTARY VALVE

摘要

A rotary valve comprising a stator and a rotor, wherein the stator comprises at least three primary connection ports and at least three secondary connection ports, and wherein rotor interconnection paths are arranged to in the different rotor positions interconnect the primary connection ports with the secondary connection ports such that all of at least three secondary connection ports can be connected one at the time to each of at least three primary connection port by rotating the rotor into the different rotor positions. A chromatography system comprising at least three chromatography columns and a column inlet rotary valve, a column outlet rotary valve and a feed recirculation flow path.

1. A rotary valve comprising a stator with an inner stator face, and a rotor with an inner rotor face arranged in sealing contact with the inner stator face, the rotor is rotatably movable to a plurality of rotor positions about a rotational axis relative to the inner stator face, the stator comprises a plurality of connection ports each being in fluidic contact with a corresponding valve orifice at the inner stator face and the rotor comprises two or more rotor interconnection paths for selective fluidic interconnection of said valve orifices with respect to the rotor position, wherein
the stator comprises at least three primary connection ports and at least three secondary connection ports, and wherein the rotor interconnection paths are arranged to: in the different rotor positions interconnect the primary connection ports with the secondary connection ports such that all of at least three secondary connection ports can be connected one at the time to each of at least three primary connection port by rotating the rotor into the different rotor positions.
