Four-way valve for switching refrigerant channel
A four-way valve for switching a refrigerant flow path includes: a housing part including a refrigerant filling chamber configured to receive refrigerant; a valve plate disposed at one side of the housing part and having at least three inflow/outflow holes formed therein; a valve pad part disposed in the refrigerant filling chamber, rotating to contact one of surfaces of the valve plate, and occupying one of the at least three inflow/outflow holes continuously and occupying selectively one of the remaining holes of the at least three inflow/outflow holes so as to make the occupied inflow/outflow holes communicate with each other, thereby forming a changed flow path; a rotation drive part for transferring a driving force to rotate the valve pad part; and a deceleration part, disposed between the rotation drive part and the valve pad part, for increasing a driving torque transferred from the rotation drive part.
