Control disk for multiport valve with improved sealing characteristics, gas analyzer, simulating method and computer program product

Abstract

A control disk for a gas analyzer which includes a plurality of grooves, each having at least one fluid port, a first pair of fluid ports and a second pair of fluid ports. Each pair is configured to be sealable by a portion of a membrane. The first pair of fluid ports is arranged radially offset from the second pair of fluid ports. The invention also relates to a multiport valve for a gas analyzer that is equipped with such a control disk. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding gas analyzer. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for simulating an operational behavior of such a multiport valve and a computer program product that is configured to perform such a method.
