Provided is a rotary valve which is easy to make smaller, and is capable of suppressing an increase in size even when a plurality of inflow ports or a plurality of outflow ports are provided. This rotary valve is equipped with a rotor (1) and a casing (2) for housing the rotor (1). The casing (2) is equipped with a rotor-housing space (2a) for rotatably housing the rotor (1). A location facing the outer-circumferential surface of the rotor (1) is provided with an inflow-side opening (23a) for allowing a fluid to flow into the rotor-housing space (2a) from the exterior, and two outflow-side openings (25a, 26a) for allowing a fluid to flow out to the exterior from the rotor-housing space (2a). The rotor (1) is formed in a cylindrical shape having an interior space, and the end surface of the rotor (1) is equipped with an end-surface-side opening (14) which connects to the interior space. The outer-circumferential surface of the rotor (1) is equipped with a rotor-outer-circumferential opening (15) and a rotor-outer-circumferential closing surface (16) which open and close the outflow-side openings (25a, 26a) of the casing (2). |
