ECCENTRIC VALVE

摘要

The invention relates to a valve for controlling volume flows in the heating and cooling system of a motor vehicle. The inventive valve comprises a valve housing (12, 112, 212) and a valve chamber (14, 114, 214), at least one inlet channel (16, 116, 216) and at least one outlet channel (18, 118, 218) branching off of said valve chamber, and at least one valve flap (28, 128, 228) which is located in the valve chamber (14, 114, 214) and which can rotate about the axis of a shaft (34, 134, 234). Said valve flap has a valve linkage system (30, 130, 230) and a valve sealing head (32, 132, 232), which interacts with at least one valve seat (22, 122, 222) of the valve chamber (14, 114, 214). According to the invention, the shaft (34, 134, 234) of the at least one valve flap (28, 128, 228) is located eccentrically in the valve chamber (14, 114, 214).
