<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved valve regulation assembly having a valve unit used to fully restrict exhaust gas flow from passing through a selected cooler port or a selected bypass port. <P>SOLUTION: The present invention is directed to a bypass valve assembly having a valve housing with an inlet port, outlet port, and bypass port all formed within the valve housing. A valve member is operably connected to the valve housing and includes a first valve plate and second valve plate that face in substantially opposite directions from each other. The first valve plate articulates to form a tight barrier with the outlet port when the valve member is in a first position, and the second valve plate articulates to form a tight barrier with the bypass port when the valve member is in a second position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
