Abstract:
Multiport rotary fluid-directing apparatuses are disclosed. An apparatus includes first and second stationary heads, first and second rotating heads, media vessels and a rotating system. The first stationary head has first ports configured to receive fluid from a fluid source and second ports configured to pass fluid to a media vessel. Each of the first and second rotating heads has multiple first and second ports and channels that fluidly connect corresponding first and second ports of the corresponding rotating head. The second stationary head has first ports configured to pass fluid to an output and second ports configured to receive fluid from a media vessel. The media vessels are configured to receive fluid from a second port of a first stationary head and transmit fluid to a corresponding second port of a second stationary head. The rotating system is configured to cause the first and second rotating heads to rotate.
