Abstract:
A blend valve assembly including a plurality of ports, a stator having at least one fluid flow path defined therein that extends between at least one port of the plurality of ports in communication with the primary fluid media and at least one port of the plurality of ports in communication with an intake of a testing device, and a rotor comprising at least one fluid flow path defined therein. The rotor is movable between a series of positions such that the blend valve assembly is operable to provide the intake of the testing device with only the primary fluid media and to provide the intake of the testing device with a blend of the primary fluid media and the secondary fluid media.

Claim (Index 10):
A blend valve assembly for a testing device, comprising:\n a valve body comprising a chamber at least partially defined therein, the chamber at least partially receiving a drive mechanism; a stator comprising a stator body coupled to the valve body and having a plurality of ports defined therethrough, at least one port of the plurality of ports in communication with a primary fluid media, at least one port of the plurality of ports in communication with a secondary fluid media, at least one port in communication with an intake of the testing device; and at least one fluid flow path that extends between the at least one port in communication with the primary fluid media and the at least one port in communication with the intake of the testing device to facilitate a substantially continuous flow of the primary fluid media to the intake of the testing device; and a rotor adjacent the stator and coupled to and driven by the drive mechanism and comprising at least one fluid flow path defined at least partially therein, wherein the drive mechanism causes movement of the rotor between a series of positions to selectively place the at least one flow path defined in the rotor into and out of communication with sets of ports of the plurality of ports such that the blend valve assembly is operable to provide the intake of the testing device with the primary fluid media and to provide the intake of the testing device with a blend of the primary fluid media and the secondary fluid media.
