Abstract

A modular electro-mechanical rotary valve (EMRV) designed to be installed and removed as a unit is provided. The modular EMRV includes a valve enclosure, at least one rotary valve body with at least one fluid pathway, and an actuator assembly. The valve enclosure, removably disposed within a mating cavity, includes at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and a hollow center. At least one of the at least one inlet or the at least one outlet is configured with at least one exterior seal interface to sealingly engage with at least one interior seal interface of the mating cavity. The actuator assembly, engaged with an actuator interface of the at least one rotary valve body, rotationally actuates the at least one rotary valve body disposed within the hollow center of the valve enclosure.
