ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly comprising a housing constructed of a material which will expand when heated, a plurality of closure elements inside the housing that can be rotated between valve open and valve closed positions, each element being mounted on its own shaft that is journaled in the housing and that has an external end portion extending through the housing with the shafts being parallel to one another and lying in the same plane at equidistant intervals, a plurality of cranks of equal length extending radially from the end portion of each shaft for rotating the shaft, and drive arm means linking the plurality of cranks so that rotation of one of the cranks causes all of the cranks, shafts, and elements to rotate in unison is improved by the drive arm means being temperature-compensating three-link mechanisms connecting each of the cranks and comprising (a) a first floating link pivotally attached at its first end to the non-shaft end of one of the cranks, (b) a second floating link of the same length as the first and pivotally attached at its first end to the non-shaft end of the next adjacent crank and (c) a rotating link pivotally mounted at its center to the housing at a point in the plane of the shafts that is equidistant between the adjacent shafts and pivotally connected at one end to the second end of one of the floating links and pivotally connected at its other end to the second end of the other floating link.
