Multi-way valve for a control of a refrigerant circuit

A multi-way valve for controlling a refrigerant circuit of a refrigeration system with a heat pump function,

• having a housing which has two end faces mutually opposite or assigned to each other wherein each end face of the housing comprises an insertion opening and a first insertion opening is adjoined by a first regulating chamber and a second insertion opening is adjoined to a second regulating chamber,
• with a first multi-way valve arrangement which is insertable from the outside through the first insertion opening in the first regulating chamber and a second multi-way valve arrangement which is insertable from the outside through the second insertion opening in the second regulating chamber, wherein each of the first and the second multi-way valve arrangements comprises at least one base body and a rotary slide valve arrangement,
• with a respective connection in the housing that opens into the respective regulating chamber, and
• with at least further connections in the housing,
• wherein at least one first connection opens into a first channel extending between the regulating chambers and at least one second connection opens into a second channel extending between the regulating chambers in which the rotary slide valve arrangements are positioned,
• wherein the first multi-way valve arrangement is insertable into the first regulating chamber and the first connection designed as an inlet, is pressurizable and the refrigerant is transferred into one or both channels,
• wherein the rotary slide valve arrangement of the second multi-way valve arrangement has a rotary slide valve and a rotary slide support and is configured for a flow direction of the refrigerant from the first regulation chamber to the second regulating chamber which are connected by two channels in between.

• with a respective connection in the housing that open into the respective regulating chamber, and
• with at least further connections in the housing, which open into at least one channel extending between the regulating chambers, wherein a rotary slide support of a rotary slide valve arrangement of the second multi-way valve arrangement comprises two connecting bushings which are at least partially insertable into the channels and are guided in a longitudinally displaceable manner in the channels and are each sealed off from the channels by seals.
