Three-way valves

Three-way valve

— a shut down valve with three outlets and three main positions, the meaning of which varies depending on the format of work. When working for mixing, the valve has one outlet and two inlets and can supply the incoming liquid either completely from one inlet, completely from the second, or from both at once, ensuring mixing. When working on separation, there is one input and two outputs, and the liquid can be supplied only to one of these inputs or to both at once (the flow is divided). Three-way valves can be made specialized (only for mixing or separation) and universal; they usually have a mixing/separation adjustment.
