Flutter (Heimlich) valve: a specific one-way valve used on the end of chest drain tubes to treat a pneumothorax; Foot valve: a check valve on the foot of a suction line to prevent backflow; Four-way valve: was used to control the flow of steam to the cylinder of early double-acting steam engines
Helly Hansen (HH) is a Norwegian manufacturer and retailer of clothing and sports equipment, owned by the Canadian retail chain Canadian Tire and operated as a subsidiary. Currently headquartered in Oslo , it was previously headquartered in Moss, Norway , from its founding in 1877 until October 2009.
[1] [2] 3-way valves pressurize and exhaust one outlet port to control a single-acting cylinder or pilot another valve. [3] Three-way valves may be used in pairs to operate a double-acting cylinder, thus replacing a four-way valve. A primary function of the 3-way valve is to save/store air that's compressed in high cyclic applications. 4-way ...
A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.
Electric actuator (blue cylinder) on a valve in a power plant. A black handwheel is visible on the actuator, which allows manual positioning of the valve. The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator.
Simple hydraulic control valves are binary, they are either on or off. Servo valves are different in that they can continuously vary the flow they supply from zero up to their rated maximum flow, or until the output pressure reaches the supplied pressure. More complex servo valves can control other parameters.

Pressure independent control valves can be used with any control system. The actuator options give a choice of thermal, 3-point control, or modulating control. This will work with building management systems and individual room controls, in the same way as traditional control valves. The actuators can also be used to set the valve by limiting flow.
