Multi-way valve with single valve rotor

A multi-way valve comprising

• a valve housing including a valve housing body and a housing end cover coupled to a first end of the valve housing body, the valve housing body shaped to define a valve cavity and a plurality of apertures that extend radially through the valve housing body and open into the valve cavity, and the housing end cover coupled to the first end of the valve housing to close an end opening to the valve cavity, and
• a valve flow controller includes a valve rotor arranged in the valve cavity of the valve housing body and configured to rotate relative to the valve housing body about a valve axis and an actuator coupled to the valve rotor to drive rotation of the valve rotor about the valve axis,
• wherein the valve rotor cooperates with the valve housing to define a plurality of flow paths when the valve rotor is rotated about the valve axis to a plurality of different predetermined positions to control a flow of fluid through the valve housing,
• wherein the valve housing body includes an annular outer wall that extends around the valve axis to define the valve cavity, a housing base that extends from the annular outer wall and formed to define the plurality of apertures that extend radially through the housing base relative to the valve axis, and an end wall opposite the housing end cover and a rod that extends axially away from the end wall into the valve cavity into the valve rotor to provide support for one end of the valve rotor,
• wherein the valve rotor includes a valve rotor body and a valve rotor shaft that extends axially from the valve rotor body through the housing end cover of the valve housing to a terminal end located outside of the housing end cover of the valve housing and coupled to the actuator, and
• wherein the valve rotor body of the valve rotor includes a valve rotor drum that extends circumferentially about the valve axis, a plurality of circumferential flow divider walls spaced apart axially along the valve rotor drum that extend radially outward from and circumferentially at least partway around the valve rotor drum, and a plurality of axial flow divider walls that extend axially between the plurality of circumferential flow divider walls to define a plurality of chambers therebetween.
