Abstract:
A multi-way poppet valve and methods for using the same are provided. In one embodiment, the poppet valve includes a manifold and a poppet assembly including an inner poppet and an outer poppet defining one or more lands. The poppet assembly can dimensioned for receipt within a bore of the manifold and configured to move longitudinally within the manifold. The inner poppet and the outer poppet can also be formed in two separate pieces that are capable of moving with respect to one another. This design can allow the lands of the poppet assembly to form fluid-tight seals (e.g., metal-metal, metal-gasket, etc.) with the manifold. In this manner, the poppet valve can move longitudinally between open and closed positions where the fluid-tight seals respectively allow or inhibit fluid flow between selected ports of the valve.

Claim (Index 3):
The valve of  claim 2 , further comprising a third port and a fourth port formed in the valve body, wherein, in the closed position, a second substantially fluid-tight circumferential seal formed between the second land and the bore inhibits fluid flow between the third and fourth ports, and wherein, in the open position, the second substantially fluid-tight circumferential seal allows fluid flow between the third and fourth ports.
