Abstract
A fluid flow control valve assembly has a housing with first and second ports, and a valve mechanism for controlling fluid flow by closing either port or permitting fluid flow between them. The valve mechanism comprises two relatively movable members, a first member for controlling flow through the first port in response to a first spring, a solenoid, and the pressure differential across the first member; and a second member for controlling flow through the second port in response to the first member, the pressure differential across the second member and a second spring.
