Abstract
The present invention relates to a rotary valve for distributing a fluid in various directions and collecting fluids from various directions. The rotary valve consists of two stator disks having passages that constitute a part of complete passages through which the fluid runs, and a rotor disposed between the two stator disks and having passages which communicate with selected at least two of the passages in the stator disks to form complete passages through which the fluid runs. Each time the rotor is turned intermittently, different passages are formed through which the fluid runs.
