Abstract:
A rotary valve with increased resistance to degradation that can include, a manifold with multiple flow paths, a rotary actuator rotatably mounted within the valve, and a valve seat that is fixedly attached to the manifold, with an end (or component) of the rotary actuator made from silicon carbide diamond (ScD) and the end having a first surface. The valve seat can have a second surface that sealingly engages the first surface. Manufacturing a rotary valve can include combining diamond particles in a press with silicon and applying temperature and pressure to produce a piece of ScD. Interposing a compound between the piece and a structure and brazing them by heating the compound between 700-1200 degrees Celsius. Forming ports and flow paths in the piece by machining the piece with an Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) tool.

Claim (Index 10):
The valve of  claim 7 , wherein the manifold includes multiple flow paths,\n wherein the valve seat ports are in fluid communication with respective ones of the flow paths in the manifold, and wherein the gap of the rotary actuator selectively aligns and miss-aligns with respective ones of the valve seat ports as the rotary actuator rotates relative to the valve seat.
