Abstract:
A multi-port rotary plug valve may be used in a fluid delivery system of a vehicle to control flow of coolant fluid between a radiator, an electric drive motor, a battery, vehicle electronics, and one or more bypass lines. The valve may include a valve body that has ports at two or more levels along a height dimension of the valve body and a plug assembly that is rotatably disposed in the valve body. In addition, the valve may include a single-piece, conical seal disposed between the valve body and the plug assembly that is free of seams or joints.
