  • This adjacent to the chick 15 connecting channel 48 has a fluid-conducting connection to the second terminal 14 and may as part of the second Terminal 14 will be considered. From there, the heating medium returns to the Heating circuit.
  • the two channels 16 and 19 are in the embodiment of the invention advantageously constructively designed so that the input channel 16 at least partially located in the output channel 19 or at least partially enclosed by this becomes. Thereby, the medium through the output channel 19, and that to the Input channel 16 around, flow out of the valve 1 and the heating return 18 in Interior of this construction, namely in the input channel 16 spatially from the heating flow 20 separated, backflow.
  • Such a design is particularly space-saving. It is advantageous if the output channel and the input channel 16 have a common central axis 45 have.
  • Figs. 3c, 4c and 5c are the different positions or positions the chick 15 indicated.
  • a first flow position (I) by a rotation of the plug 15 from the zero or locking position (0), starting clockwise is the chick 15 in the present embodiment, the following Flow paths are permitted:
  • the heating medium passes through the as flow connection acting first port 13 via the plug 15 in the output channel 19 and of There in the radiator 9.
  • the heating return 18 passes through the inlet channel 16 in the valve 1 back and leaves via the chick 15 and the connecting channel 48 via the second port 14, the valve 1 and flows back into the heating circuit.
  • a continuous Schufluidstrom flows through the bypass connection 35, from the first Terminal 13 through the bypass opening 17 via the second terminal 14 back to Heating circuit.
  • the chick according to FIG. 4c starts from the zero or blocking position (0), turned counterclockwise to a second flow position (II), so gives the following, complementary to the above, flow characteristics: the second port 14 now acts as a supply connection, through the heating medium from the heating circuit in the Valve 1 flows in. From there, the heating medium passes through the chick 15 and partially via the connecting channel 48 in the output channel 19 and leaves as a heating flow 20, the valve 1 in the direction of radiator 9.
  • the heating return 18 passes again the input channel 16 back into the valve 1 and leaves the valve 1 via the chick 15 via the second port 14 acting as the return port continuous Kirfluidstrom through the bypass connection 35, from the second Port 14 via parts of the connecting channel 48 through the bypass opening 17 therethrough via the first connection 13 back to the heating circuit.
  • the bypass opening 17 is dimensioned such that in the first flow position I and in the second flow position II 40 to 70%, in particular 45 to 60%, preferably about 50%, of the valve 1 through one of the ports 13 or 14 flowing heating medium through the bypass opening 17 in the heating circuit flows back without getting into the radiator 9.
  • the Dimensioning of the bypass opening 17 is determined by the size of the radiator, the number of depends on the heating circuit connected radiator and other factors and can interpreted accordingly, i. e. it can different chicks 15 with correspondingly large bypass openings 17 in the Radiator 9 are used.
  • the dimensions of the bypass openings 17 in the individual radiators 9 of a single heating circuit differ such that For example, for the first radiator of a monotube heating circuit a chick 15 with a larger bypass opening 17 is selected as for the last or the further back connected radiator 9 of the heating circuit, in which a smaller bypass opening 17 may be necessary to provide this heater 9 still enough thermal energy to be able to.
  • the heating medium, the valve 1 always by the Output channel 19 should leave as heating flow 20 in the direction of radiator 9 and always as heating return 18 from the radiator 9 via the input channel 16 in the Valve 1 should flow back.
  • This can ensure that the heating medium always in the same connection of the radiator 9, namely advantageously the Radiator flow connection 8, flows regardless of the direction of flow in the heating circuit.
  • the inflow into the radiator 9 could also be reversed, However, this is unfavorable for heating considerations, since the heating power of the radiator reduced.
  • the flow direction in the first port 13 or in second terminal 14 changes depending on the position of the plug 15. This is Ensures that the valve 1 placed on the on-site usually preassembled nozzle can be independent of the predetermined in the heating circuit flow direction of the Heating medium. That is, the valves 1 can without knowledge or consideration of the Flow direction to be installed without having to cross over pipes.

That is, the fluidic Connection of the first terminal 13 and the second terminal 14 with the Output channel 19 or with the input channel 16 is no longer given. Only the first port 13, which act as either a flow or return port can, is via the bypass opening 17 and parts of the connecting channel 48 with the second Terminal 14, which then functions as a return or supply connection, connected, i. the entire heating medium flow flows through the bypass opening 17th
  • indicia in the form of arrows 23, 24 are provided, which indicate the direction of the flow and after which the position of the chick 15 can be made.
  • connection fitting comprises in the embodiment according to the invention Further, a T-piece 2, which is connected to the output channel 19 and the input channel 16 of the Valve 1 is fluidically connected.
  • This tee 2 ensures that the from the valve 1 spatially separated from the heating return 18 ausströmende heating flow 20 to the radiator flow connection 8 of the radiator is passed and that the Heating return 18 separately enters the inlet channel 16 of the valve 1.
  • a tubular element 12 is provided in the T-piece 2, in particular the same Has diameter as the input channel 16 and with this in direct Flow connection is or with this, in particular tight, connected or on this is connectable.
