ABSTRACT:
A valve configured to receive a fluid, such as ambient air, from one or more sources and distribute the fluid to one or more outlet ports selected from a plurality of outlet ports. The valve includes a first and second member forming a cavity that contains a rotational disk used to directed a fluid through one or more outlet ports located in the second member. The first member includes a distribution chamber for receiving the fluid from an inlet port and for distributing the fluid to the rotational disk. The rotational disk may be controlled using a motor and sensor to align one or more apertures in the disk with one or more selected output ports in the second member. Thus, a fluid may be directed from a single distribution chamber to one or more selected outlet ports.
