Understanding 3 Way Control Valve:
A 3 way control valve is a type of control valve designed to regulate the flow of fluid in a piping system by directing it between three different ports. Unlike traditional 2 way control valves that have an inlet and an outlet, these valves offer an additional port, providing more flexibility in controlling flow direction and volume. These valves are commonly used in applications where precise flow regulation and diversion are required, such as in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, process industries, and water treatment plants. Multiple ports and internal channels are incorporated into the design of a 3 way control valve to enable flexible flow control. Typically, the valve's main body is made up of a chamber with three T- or L-shaped inlet/outlet ports. An actuator is attached to a movable plug or ball element inside the valve body, enabling precise flow control and placement. 
 

The flow path between the various ports can be directed in different combinations depending on how the valve is configured. A mixing/diverting design allows flow to be routed from one intake to two outlets or mixed from two inlets to one outlet in certain 3-way control valves. Some might be configured with a bypass, which permits flow to go via one port and between the remaining two ports. The design may also include features such as seals, packing, and position indicators for enhanced performance and ease of maintenance.
 

Working Operation:
The proper placement of the plug or ball element is necessary to regulate the flow between the three ports of the valve. The actuator modifies the valve's position according to required flow rates and conditions by receiving signals from a control system, such as a direct-acting controller or programmable logic controller (PLC).
When the valve is in the mixing mode in a mixing/diverting configuration, fluid from two inlets is combined and sent to the outlet port. To obtain the required blend, the actuator can vary the flow ratio between the two inlets while it adjusts the valve position. On the other hand, depending on the valve, fluid from one inlet is redirected to either of the two outlet ports in the diverting mode.When the valve is in a bypass position, liquid can pass via two ports instead of one and bypass the other. In situations where rerouting some of the flow is required to preserve system stability, such as temperature control or pressure relief, this configuration is frequently utilized.
