Switching valve utilizing a rotatable seal suitable for use in a regenerative thermal oxidizer (10), and oxidizer (10) including the switching valve (20). The valve (20) of the present invention exhibits excellent sealing characteristics and minimizes wear. The valve (20) has a seal plate (100) that defines two chambers, each chamber being a flow port (25) that leads to one of two regenerative beds of the oxidizer (10). The valve (20) also includes a switching flow distributor (50) that provides alternate channelling of the inlet or outlet process gas to each half of the seal plate. The valve operates between two modes: a stationary mode and a valve movement mode. In the stationary mode, a tight gas seal is used to minimize or prevent process gas leakage. The gas seal also seals during valve movement. |
