A Diverter Valve is a mechanical device used to redirect the flow of fluids in multiple directions. This valve is responsible for distributing one fluid flow into two or more paths or redirecting the fluid to one of several paths.

 

 Key features of a Diverter Valve include:
  1. Fluid Flow Control: The Diverter Valve controls the distribution or redirection of fluid. For example, it can take fluid coming from one side and split it into two separate paths, or it can select one of multiple paths to direct the fluid.
  2. Single Input, Multiple Outputs: Typically, a Diverter Valve is designed to take fluid from one inlet and redirect it to two or more outlets. This function helps save physical space and improves system efficiency.
  3. Automatic and Manual Control: Diverter Valves can be operated either automatically or manually. In automated systems, the valve's position can be controlled through electronic or mechanical methods. In manual systems, the operator adjusts the valve position manually.
