A flow control valve apparatus is provided in which a main valve adjusts the flow rate of cooling water by operating a plurality of ports and a sub-valve that operates with the main valve adjusts the flow rates of the cooling water circulating through a cylinder block and a cylinder head. The flow rate of the cooling water is variously adjusted based on the operation conditions of a vehicle.

Flow control valve apparatus

A flow control valve apparatus switches a circulation direction of cooling medium according to a rotated position of a valve, and a disc provided in the valve controls the flow rate of the cooling medium flowing through a plurality of flow paths, so that the flow rate control of the cooling medium is diversified according to various conditions to improve cooling performance by efficiently circulating the cooling medium.

Disclosed herein is a valve apparatus for vehicles that is configured such that the sealability of a valve body can be markedly enhanced. The valve apparatus includes a valve body, a valve member and a sealing unit. The valve body is provided with at least two ports and has an internal space communicating with the ports. The valve member is rotatably installed in the internal space so as to open or close the ports. The sealing unit is provided to seal at least one of the ports. The sealing unit includes a sealing body airtightly installed on an inner surface of the corresponding port, and at least one elastic element integrally provided on a first end of the sealing body. The elastic element axially applies elastic force to the sealing body so that a second end of the sealing body comes into airtight contact with the valve member.

Valve apparatus for vehicle

Disclosed herein is a fail-safe coolant control valve. The fail-safe coolant control valve includes a valve housing, a valve member, an actuator, and a fail-safe unit. The valve housing is provided on an outer surface thereof with at least two ports. The valve housing has therein an internal space communicating with the ports. The valve member is rotatably installed in the internal space of the valve housing and rotates via an actuator. The fail-safe unit rotates the valve member depending on a temperature of a coolant in the valve housing when a failure occurs.
