Abstract

A rotary fluid regulator (1, 300) has a housing (2) with at least one inlet opening (3, 4) and at least one outlet opening (5). A valve element (7, 100) is received rotatably in the housing (2) and is a hollow fluid duct (8). A drive element (19, 301, 401, 501) is provided to rotate the valve element (7, 100) so that a fluidic connection between the at least one inlet opening (3, 4) and the at least one outlet opening (5) can be adjusted or blocked. A brake element is provided for influencing or blocking the movement of the valve element.
