Three-way Diversion Regulating Valve

Summary:The valve core features a cylindrical design with window openings and is paired with a single-seat valve seat. It consists of components such as the valve body, valve seat, valve core, stem, packing gland, and upper bonnet. This design boasts a compact structure, lightweight construction, sensitive operation, and precise flow characteristics. Like the sleeve in cage valves, the valve core comes in two types of throttling areas: one with large open windows and another with small perforations (jet-type). The latter type effectively reduces noise and minimizes resonance. The three-way control valve incorporates two valve cores and valve seats, featuring a structure similar to that of a double-seat valve. In this configuration, as the flow area between one valve core and its seat increases, the flow area between the other core and its seat decreases—resulting in a fully closed position for one path while the other remains fully open.

Overview

　　The valve core features a cylindrical design with window openings and is combined with a single-seat valve seat. It consists of components such as the valve body, valve seat, valve core, valve stem, packing gland, and upper bonnet. This design boasts a compact structure, lightweight construction, sensitive operation, and precise flow characteristics. Like the sleeve in cage valves, the valve core offers two types of throttling areas: one with large windows and another featuring small holes (jet-type). The latter design effectively reduces noise and minimizes resonance. The three-way control valve incorporates two valve cores and valve seats, sharing a similar structure with the double-seat valve. In this type of valve, as the flow area between one valve core and its seat increases, the flow area between the other core and its seat decreases—this occurs when one path is fully closed while the other is fully open.

　　The opening and closing of the three-way control valve are achieved by selecting either the direct or reverse action of the actuator. The three-way valve effectively replaces both a fail-open valve and a fail-closed valve, thereby reducing costs and minimizing installation space.

　　The three-way control valve has three inlets and outlets connected to the pipeline, and is classified into mixing valves and diverting valves based on its function. It primarily controls or switches the proportion of media flowing together or separately.

　　Widely used to precisely control process parameters—such as gases, liquids, and steam—to maintain them at specified values. Suitable for applications in power plants, chemical industries, petroleum, metallurgy, and other fields.
