3 way actuated valve

A 3 way actuated valve is a valve that has three openings or ports inside it. They assist the pigging valve in governing the movement of water or gas through three unique paths. Imagine a road where vehicles have three options: They can veer left, right or go straight. This valve is referred to as "actuated" because it is automatically opened and closed. Which means it doesn’t require someone to turn a handle or push a button with their hand. Instead, it opens and closes using electricity or air

Let’s discuss how this valve really works. After you get it, it’s fairly straightforward! (An actuator is the part that opens and closes the valve.) When it gets a signal to open, the actuator moves a part inside the valve — a piston or a diaphragm — that opens the valve. It also affects the where the fluid can flow. It’s a little like pushing on a door to open it—the same sort of thing happens inside the valve. When signaled to close the valve, the actuator retracts and prevents the fluid from continuing to flow. Thus, the valve can regulate the flow of water or gas based on the requirement at that time.

Applications of 3 way actuated valves in various industries

Now that we have an understanding of what a 3 way actuated valve is and how it operates, let us discover in real life where we might encounter them. There are a lot of really cool places you find these pigging valves

Plumbing and Heating: 3 way actuated valves are found in our homes. They regulate the flow of water or air for heating and cooling systems. They make sure that our rooms can be warm on winter and cool on summer.
