Abstract
A valve includes a housing, plural rotors in the housing, a linkage mechanism that links the rotors, and an electric actuator. The rotors include a drive rotor driven and rotated by the electric actuator and a driven rotor to which a driving rotational force is transmitted from the drive rotor via the linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism includes a contact portion and a contacted portion. The linkage mechanism can select between a transmission mode and a non-transmission mode by selecting a rotational direction of the drive rotor, the transmission mode being a mode in which the contact portion is in contact with the contacted portion so as to transmit the driving rotational force to the driven rotor, and the non-transmission mode being a mode in which the contact portion is separated from the contacted portion so as not to transmit the driving rotational force to the driven rotor.
