Abstract

A multi-port thermal module which includes a central housing, a plurality of flow cavities integrally formed as part of the central housing, at least one inner housing connected to a first side of the central housing, a first plurality of inner flow channels integrally formed as part of the first inner housing, each of the first plurality of inner flow channels in fluid communication with at least one of the flow cavities, and a first outer housing connected to the first inner housing. A portion of each of a first plurality of flow channels is integrally formed as part of the first inner housing, and another portion of each of the first plurality of flow channels is integrally formed as part of the first outer housing. A rotor located in the central housing is rotated to various orientations to direct fluid between the plurality of flow cavities.
