rotary valve Explanation: I don't think 'rotative' would be correct under any circumstances. I BELIEVE I am right in saying that this is a kind of remote-controlled valve (usually electrically-operated and referred to as a 'solenoid' valve), but instead of having a simple 'blocking' on/off 'gate valve' function (easiest type to achieve using a simple solenoid), it uses a progressive, rotary action (similar to a 1/4-turn tap, giving some degree of continuously-variable control, and also probably better sealing and unobstructed passage. This type has to be driven by a more sophisticated mechanism. OK, so I THINK that's what is being referred to here, but I'm sorry, I don't have any references to help you... perhaps a quick Google could help you? Bon courage ! |
