VALVE UNIT WITH INBUILT COLLECTOR Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC F25B39/02 F28F27/02 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a valve unit (1), comprising an inlet hole, a distributor and an outlet part having at least two outlet holes. The distributor comprises an inlet part (5), communicating with the specified inlet hole, and is made as capable of distributing fluid medium received from this inle thole, between at least two parallel flows of a heat exchanger (3). The valve unit (1) also comprises the first valve unit and the second valve unit installed as capable of displacement relative to each other so that mutual position of these valve elements determines the fluid medium flow passing from the inlet hole to each outlet hole of the outlet part. Besides, the valve unit (1) comprises a collector (2) forming an integral part of the valve unit (1). This collector (2) is made as capable of forming a zone of coupling with a heat exchanger (3), having at least two channels, at the same time this collector provides for such liquid communication, at which every outlet hole (7, 9) communicates with the channel of the heat exchanger (3), connected to the collector (2). The collector comprises at least one separating element that separates at least two sections of the collector, besides, each of these sections communicates with the distributor and the specified zone of coupling with the heat exchanger.

EFFECT: using the invention will make it possible to improve distribution of a coolant between heat exchanger channels.
