Abstract

A valve ( 1 ) is introduced for a heat pump system in a motor vehicle, with at least one inlet ( 3 ), at least two outlets ( 2, 4 ) and a valve element ( 7 ) which comprises at least one throughlet ( 8 ) and at least one expansion recess ( 9 ) that can be brought into fluidic connection with at least one outlet ( 2, 4 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A valve for a heat pump system in a motor vehicle, with at least one inlet, at least two outlets and one valve element comprising at least one throughlet and at least one expansion recess that can be brought into fluidic connection with at least one outlet. 
     
     
         2 . A valve according to  claim 1 , further comprising a shutoff position. 
     
     
         3 . A valve according to  claim 1 , wherein the completely open throughlet comprises an angle of substantially 90°. 
     
     
         4 . A valve according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one expansion recess is a slot. 
     
     
         5 . A valve according to  claim 1 , wherein t the valve element is substantially sphere-shaped. 
     
     
         6 . A valve according to  claim 1 , wherein two outlets are substantially aligned with one another. 
     
     
         7 . A valve according to  claim 1 , wherein one inlet essentially aligns with a valve shaft connected with the valve element. 
     
     
         8 . A valve as in  claim 2 , wherein the completely open throughlet comprises an angle of substantially 90°. 
     
     
         9 . A valve according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one expansion recess is a slot. 
     
     
         10 . A valve according to  claim 3 , wherein at least one expansion recess is a slot. 
     
     
         11 . A valve according to  claim 2 , wherein the valve element is substantially sphere-shaped. 
     
     
         12 . A valve according to  claim 3 , wherein the valve element is substantially sphere-shaped. 
     
     
         13 . A valve according to  claim 4 , wherein the valve element is substantially sphere-shaped. 
     
     
         14 . A valve according to  claim 3 , wherein the valve element is substantially sphere-shaped. 
     
     
         15 . A valve according to  claim 9 , wherein the valve element is substantially sphere-shaped. 
     
     
         16 . A valve according to  claim 2 , wherein two outlets are substantially aligned with one another. 
     
     
         17 . A valve according to  claim 3 , wherein two outlets are substantially aligned with one another. 
     
     
         18 . A valve according to  claim 4 , wherein two outlets are substantially aligned with one another. 
     
     
         19 . A valve according to  claim 5 , wherein two outlets are substantially aligned with one another. 
     
     
         20 . A valve according to  claim 2 , wherein one inlet essentially aligns with a valve shaft connected with the valve element.
