Abstract
A valve assembly for controlling fluid flow is provided. The valve assembly includes a housing having a first chamber and a second chamber, an actuator assembly configured to move between a first position and a second position within the first and second chambers, a plurality of fluid ports in fluid communication with the first chamber, and a plurality of fluid ports in fluid communication with the second chamber. The first position of the actuator assembly defines a first series of fluid flowpaths through the plurality of fluid ports of the first and second chambers. The second position of the actuator assembly defines a second series of fluid flowpaths through the plurality of fluid ports of the first and second chambers.
Claims20
A valve assembly for controlling fluid flow comprising:
- a housing comprising a first chamber and a second chamber;
- an actuator assembly configured to move between a first position and a second position within the first and second chambers;
- a plurality of fluid ports in fluid communication with the first chamber;
- a plurality of fluid ports in fluid communication with the second chamber;
- wherein the first position of the actuator assembly defines a first series of fluid flowpaths through the plurality of fluid ports of the first chamber and through the plurality of fluid ports of the second chamber, and the second position of the actuator assembly defines a second series of fluid flowpaths through the plurality of fluid ports of the first chamber and through the plurality of fluid ports of the second chamber.
A treatment system comprising:
- an electrochemical device comprising a first compartment and a second compartment;
- a valve assembly configured to operate in a first position and a second position;
- a first series of fluid flowpaths in fluid communication with the valve assembly and at least one of the first compartment and the second compartment of the electrochemical device when the valve assembly is configured in the first position;
- and
- a second series of fluid flowpaths in fluid communication with the valve assembly and at least one of the first compartment and the second compartment of the electrochemical device when the valve assembly is configured in the second position.
