The valve distributes coolant flow from the engine in predetermined flow modes to either 1) the radiator and heater simultaneously, 2) a bypass circuit only, 3) the heater only, o
A rotary valve provides single point flow control of coolant within the cooling system of an internal combustion engine. The valve distributes coolant flow from the engine in predetermined flow modes to either 1) the radiator and heater simultaneously, 2) a bypass circuit only, 3) the heater only, or 4) the radiator and bypass simultaneously. The single-point coolant control results in advantages of shorter warm-up times, a lower pressure drop (reducing power consumption by the pump), reduced engine emissions and fuel consumption, improved cabin heater performance, and improved engine durability due to reduced thermal shocks to the engine components by virtue of more precise control of engine operating temperature.

A Passenger Transfer Facility apparatus as recited in claim 3 wherein said means for leveling includes a control means for selectively actuating each one of said verti-stop elements whereby said semi-floating dock structure is leveled at one end and then is sequencially leveled at the other end. 5. A Passenger Transfer Facility apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said set of lateral locking guides includes two parallel members, each parallel member substantially parallel to each one of said gondola car sides so as to receive a lower portion of said gondola car side as each one of said gondola cars are lowered into said set of lateral locking guides. 6. A Passenger Transfer Facility apparatus, comprising: a semi-floating dock structure, said semi-floating dock structure including at least one enclave docking element, said semi-floating dock structure including a means for leveling of said semi-floating dock structure, at least two riverboats, a primary riverboat and a secondary riverboat, each one of said riverboats including at least one enclave docking element that is disposed to a passenger compartment of each one of the riverboats, each one of said riverboats, primary and secondary, include at least one centermount element, each centermount element disposed to said passenger compartment of each one of said primary and said secondary riverboats, each one of said enclave docking elements receives one centermount element so as to mate with each one of said centermount elements, a clamping means, said clamping means disposed to the outer reaches of each one of said enclave docking elements, as said primary riverboat centermount element is mated with at least one of said enclave docking elements disposed to said semi-floating dock structure, said secondary riverboat centermount element is disposed within said primary riverboat enclave element where said primary riverboat is docked at said semi-floating dock structure and said secondary riverboat is docked at said primary riverboat. 7. A Passenger Transfer Facility apparatus, comprising: a means for ferrying passengers, a semi-floating dock structure, said semi-floating dock structure including a means for leveling, at least two riverboats, a primary and a secondary riverboats with each one of said riverboats including at least one enclave docking element, each one of said riverboats including at least one centermount element, each one of said riverboats includes a means for shelter disposed to the lateral reaches of each one of said passenger compartments, each one of said riverboats includes a passenger compartment whereby as said means for ferrying passengers is disposed between said primary riverboat and said secondary riverboat, and as said means for shelter are actuated, said means for ferrying passengers is secured between said primary riverboat and said secondary riverboat and passengers thereupon transfer between said means for ferrying passengers and said primary riverboat and said secondary riverboat. 8. A Passenger Transfer Facility apparatus as recited in claim 7 wherein each one of said primary riverboat and said secondary riverboat include a means for shelter, a means for ferrying passengers, said means for ferrying passengers disposed substantially between s aid primary riverboat and said secondary riverboat so that, as said means for shelter is actuated, said means for ferrying passengers is biased between said primary riverboat and said secondary riverboat. peration and a second folded condition for storage when not in use, said open top of said storage container being shaped and dimensioned to receive and support said basket in its folded condition, said container and said basket then together defining sufficient storage space to snugly accommodate said pan, said support plate in its folded condition, said plurality of food processing elements and said food holder. ge communicating between said inflow conduit and said chamber, said passage being located so that ink flows past said orifice when said closing element is in said opening position, and so that ink flows directly to said return flow conduit when said closing element is in said closing position. 10. An assembly as in claim 9 wherein said inflow conduit has a flow cross section which is larger than the flow cross section of said at least one passage. 11. An assembly as in claim 8 further comprising a housing in which said chamber is formed, said housing having sealing surfaces facing said chamber, said closing element having sealing surfaces which bear on said sealing surfaces of said housing when said closing element is in said closing position. 12. An assembly as in claim 11 wherein at least some of said sealing surface are provided with a soft coating. 13. An assembly as in claim 8 wherein said closing element comprises a layer of ink repelling material. 14. An assembly as in claim 8 wherein said closing element consists of an ink repelling material.
