Griswold Controls has a series of application tips that can assist HVAC design engineers, building owners and contractors.

In this two-page application tip, Griswold Controls explores:

  • the function of 3-way valves compared to 2-way valves
  • why 3-way valves installed in a variable speed system hinder energy savings
  • overflow and underflow issues
  • how pressure independent control valves (PIC-V) work
