Abstract
A valve manifold has a housing with a central mixing chamber and a shell surface. The shell surface of the valve manifold has at least two valve ports, with each valve port being associated with one valve. A first valve port has three openings, and additional valve ports each having three openings. A respective first opening of the valve ports is in direct fluid communication with the central mixing chamber, and the second and third openings of the valve ports are each in fluid communication with an inflow or outflow via a duct. A bottom of the mixing chamber, in relation to a plane arranged perpendicularly to a vertical longitudinal axis of the housing, has a slope towards the first opening of the first.
