Abstract

See full text

A flow switching apparatus has a simple structure and enables a rapid flow switching operation between two systems of flow, e.g., flows in which two kinds of fluid each having a temperature different from each other flows without causing any gas leakage. The apparatus comprises: a casing 18 partitioned by partition walls 5, 6 and 7 into four chambers among which two are defined as fixing chambers 2a and 2b connected to flows of two systems in which the flow directions of fluid are fixed and the remaining two are defined as switching chambers 4c and 4d connected to two systems of flow in which the flow directions of fluid are alternately switched. Communicating holes 8ac 8bc 8ad and 8bd are formed in the partition wall 7 and communicate each of the fixing chambers 2a and 2b with the switching chambers 4c and 4d. A switching member 3 connects one fixing chamber 2a to one switching chamber 4d and the other fixing chamber 2b to the other switching chamber 4c by opening and closing the communicating holes 8ac, 8bc, 8ad and 8bd.
