A multi-way valve having a housing with housing openings for flow-conductive connection to an external flow channel for a fluid, and a valve body arranged in the housing so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis, for flow-conductive connection of at least two of the housing openings of the housing. A seal arranged between the housing and the valve body. The valve body has a first plane having at least one first connection channel and a second plane, arranged parallel to the first plane, having at least one second connection channel, wherein the connection channels are separate from each other in respect of flow and can each be flow-conductively connected to at least two of the housing openings by a rotation of the valve body to a previously specified rotary position of the valve body.

Multi-way valve

The present invention relates to a valve system, comprising a first valve and a second valve, wherein both valves each have a housing with a plurality of housing openings, and a valve body arranged rotatably in the housing with at least one connection channel for providing a fluid connection of at least two of the housing openings, characterized in that the valve body of the first valve and the valve body of the second valve are mechanically coupled with each other by means of a coupling device of the valve system, wherein the coupling device is designed in such a way that the valve bodies can be rotated jointly by means of the coupling device when the valve system is in a first operating state and rotated independently of each other by means of the coupling device when the valve system is in a second operating state.
