Abstract:
A multiport ball valve body has one entry port and at least two exit ports disposed transversely to the ball valve body entry port. A ball disposed in the body has one entry port and one exit port that is disposed transversely to the ball entry port. The ball can be rotated to selectively align the ball exit port with one of the at least two body exit ports. Holes through the ball admit part of the fluid flow into the cavity between the ball and the body, and internal parts are exposed, such that the cavity and the internal parts are kept flushed.
