Three-Way Regulating Valve

Basic Structure and Types

Based on valve core structure, there are two main types:

1. Confluence Type Three-Way Valve (Two Inlets, One Outlet)

• Two inlets, one outlet

• Mixes two different temperatures/mediums before outputting

• Mostly used for temperature control of hot and cold fluids

2. Diverter Type Three-Way Valve (One Inlet, Two Outlets)

• One inlet, two outlets

• Diverts one flow path proportionally to two pipelines

• Mostly used for bypass regulation and flow distribution

Common Actuators:
• Pneumatic Diaphragm Type (Most Common)

• Electric Actuator (Electric Three-Way Control Valve)

• Can be equipped with a positioner to achieve 4–20mA automatic adjustment

Product Description

Working Principle: When the valve core moves up and down, it changes the flow area of ​​the two channels:

 

• One channel opens wider, while the other closes smaller.

• The total flow capacity remains relatively stable with minimal flow fluctuations.

• Achieves continuous, proportional regulation, rather than simple on/off switching.

 

Key Features:

 

• One valve replaces two straight-through valves + three-way piping, saving space and costs.

• Smooth regulation, suitable for closed-loop temperature control.

• Good flow characteristics, linear/equal percentage selectable.

• Leakage rating is generally Class IV or V.

• Common diameters: DN25~DN300, pressure PN16~PN40.

 

Applications:

 

• Heat exchange stations, central air conditioning: hot and cold water temperature balance control.

• Chemical industry: reactor temperature control, media proportioning.

• Boilers, waste heat systems: bypass desuperheating, flow distribution.

• Oil and water treatment systems: flow switching and proportional regulation.

Pneumatic Fluoropolymer-Lined Control Valve

Structural Components

• Pneumatic Actuator: Primarily multi-spring diaphragm type, receiving 4–20mA/pneumatic signals to drive the valve stem up and down.

• Fluorine-lined Valve Body: Carbon steel/stainless steel base, fully lined with fluoroplastic (PTFE/F4, FEP/F46, PFA) inner cavity.

• Valve Core/Seat: Metal core encased in fluoroplastic or integral fluoroplastic, soft seal, low leakage.

• Valve Stem: 316L/Hastelloy alloy, surface hardened, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant.

• Seal: PTFE bellows + V-type PTFE packing, double protection against external leakage.

Angle Control Valve

Angle Control Valve

Structural Features

• Right-angle valve body with 90° inlet and outlet, ensuring simple and smooth media flow.

• Valve core structure: Single-seat plunger type valve core, providing high adjustment accuracy.

• Flow path: Straight-through with low resistance, less prone to clogging and material accumulation.

• Internal components: Valve core and seat can be hardened for wear resistance and erosion resistance.

• Actuator: Commonly pneumatic diaphragm type, but electric actuators are also available.

Working Principle
Fluid flows in from the bottom, and the valve core moves up and down to change the flow area, achieving flow and pressure regulation.

Because the flow path has a right-angle turn, the media directly scours the bottom of the valve core, minimizing erosion on the valve seat and ensuring good stability.

Nitrogen Blanketing Unit Control Valve

Nitrogen Blanketing Unit Control Valve

Core Components and Division of Functions

• Nitrogen Supply Valve: Opens when the tank pressure is lower than the set value, supplying nitrogen to the tank and maintaining a slight positive pressure.

• Nitrogen Relief Valve: Opens when the tank pressure is higher than the set value, releasing excess nitrogen to prevent overpressure.

• Breather Valve: Acts as a safety backup, providing overpressure/negative pressure protection in case of nitrogen sealing valve malfunction.

Electric Single-Seat Regulating Valve

Electric Single-Seat Regulating Valve

Core Structure

• Electric Actuator: Servo motor + reduction gear + position feedback, converting electrical signals into linear thrust, with manual operation.

• Valve Body Assembly:

◦ Single valve core + single valve seat (single seat structure)

◦ Valve stem, valve cover, packing seal

◦ Straight-through flow path, moderate flow resistance

Working Principle
1. Control system (DCS/PLC) outputs a 4~20mA signal.
2. The actuator receives the signal and drives the valve stem to raise and lower the valve core.
3. Changing the flow area between the valve core and the valve seat adjusts the medium flow rate.
4. Position feedback forms a closed loop, ensuring the opening degree is consistent with the signal.
