Abstract:
A multi-port exhaust gas diverter valve disposed within a linkage of an exhaust manifold for selectively diverting an exhaust gas generated by an internal combustion engine to one or more of a turbocharger system, an exhaust gas recirculation system, and an emissions control system. The diverter valve includes an inlet port for receiving an exhaust gas from the exhaust manifold and a plurality of outlet ports. A rotatable valve sleeve having an open end and a slot opening is co-axially disposed within a cylindrical chamber defined by the valve body. The open end of the valve sleeve is in continuous fluid communication with the inlet port. The valve sleeve is selectively rotatable to align the slot opening with at least one of the plurality of outlet ports such that the valve sleeve provides fluid communication between the inlet port and the at least one of the outlet ports.
