Rotary valve for an adsorption

The invention relates to a rotary valve (7) for an adsorption heat pump (8) with one in a predetermined direction of rotation (9) around a central axis rotatably arranged cylindrical valve body having a shell and two end plates, two arranged on the casing opposing high temperature terminals (HVQ, HQR) for connecting a high-temperature heat source, two arranged on the casing opposing mean temperature terminals (MSV, MSR) for connecting a medium-temperature heat sink, a plurality arranged on the end plates Sorptionsmodulanschlusse for connecting Sorptionsmodulen (1-6) of the adsorption heat pump (8), a valve body substantially parallel to the central axis by pulling channel system for conducting a fluid and integrated in the throttle valve body for narrowing a flow cross section at a throttle point of the channel system. The duct system in this case comprises open channels which open into a Sorptionsmodulanschluss and closed channels which terminate in or on a face plate. The invention further relates to an adsorption heat pump (8) with such a rotary valve (7).
