This three-way valve improves temperature control

| By Chemical Engineering

This company has recently unveiled the GX 3-Way control valve (photo), which has the ability to accurately control the temperature of water, oils, steam, and other industrial fluids. Applications include heat exchangers and lubricating skids. The flow cavity of the GX 3-Way valve body has been engineered to provide stable flow and reduce process variability. This linear stability is perfectly suited for temperature and pH control applications. The GX 3-Way valve covers both flow mixing (converging) and flow splitting (diverging) applications with no extra parts needed. Unlike other three-way valves, it features both side-port and bottom-port common trim. — Emerson Process Management, Fisher div., St. Louis, Mo.
