Abstract
A multi-port valve includes a valve housing and a valve core. The valve housing includes a plurality of ports arranged in a circumferential direction. All the ports are grouped into at least two port groups. Each of the port groups includes a main port and a plurality of sub-ports. The valve core is rotatably mounted to the valve housing and defines at least two flow channels. The multi-port valve has a plurality of work modes in response to the valve core rotated as regard to the valve housing to different positions. In different work modes, each of said at least two flow channels is configured to selectively communicate one of the main ports with one of the sub-ports.
