Used in the automobile industry, and more specifically in the driver's cab heating system, the valve is installed between the link between the engine and the radiator and the cab's heating system. It consists of a housing unit (1) which has a circular compartment (2) which houses the rotor (25) which has a side wall which protrudes a few millimeters (28) and has attached to it, by means of an "8"-shaped lever (36), a sealing unit, consisting of an O ring (33) and its support (34). This sealing unit and the side wall (28) are responsible for blocking off the flow of liquid to the cab's heating system and the by-pass, respectively. The previously mentioned compartment has a tubular inlet (3) and outlet (5) and is attached by a linking channel (14) to the adjacent cavity (10), to which is attached an outlet tube (11) and a return opening (13) and the rotor (25) is operated manually by means of an external lever (42).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A water flow control valve for a vehicle heating system comprising: a housing unit (1) having a compartment (2), having an open end and a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a flow controlling rotor (25) housed in the compartment (2), an adjacent cavity connected to the compartment (2) the adjacent cavity having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the compartment (2) having a removable cover mated thereto, the cover having a middle concentric wall for centering the rotor for rotation and an intermediate wall spaced away from an edge of the cover for fitting to the compartment open end, sealing means for sealing the cover to the compartment, the cover having hub means for attaching to the housing unit, the adjacent cavity having a removable cover sealing engaged to the housing unit for covering the open end thereof, the compartment having a guide cavity in a surface thereof for guiding rotation of the rotor therein, and means for displacing the rotor from a first position when flow travels from the compartment inlet to the compartment outlet and a second position where the flow travels from the compartment inlet to the bypass channel to the adjacent cavity outlet.
2.
The water flow control valve of claim 1 wherein the rotor comprises two disk shaped end elements joined by a lateral wall, having a plurality of fins on an inner surface thereof.
3.
The water flow control valve of claim 1 wherein the rotor comprises the disk shaped end elements joined by a vertical strip having a seal unit support and means for mounting a sealing unit to the seal unit support.
4.
The water flow control valve of claim 3 wherein the sealing unit comprises a semicylindrical wall sized for blocking the compartment outlet, the wall having a sealing ring mounted thereon.
5.
The water flow control valve of claim 4 wherein the sealing unit has lever ends on opposite sides thereof extending into the upper guide cavity and into a lower guide cavity located in the compartment cover
