Industrial Diverter Valve

A diverter valve is a mechanical or electro-mechanical device that is used to control the flow of media through a piping system. It can control the flow of liquid or steam from one port to another or in many cases it can be simply used for isolating one path from the other.A shower diverter, also known as a diverter valve, is a valve that diverts the flow of water from the bathtub faucet to the shower head. Thus, a diverter valve allows you to have a shower and a bathtub in the same space.The function of a diverter system is to allow the well to blowout safely or bridge itself. Fig. 2.45 shows a typical diverter system through which the kick must be diverted safely away from the rig. This type of BOP is normally used when surface hole is being drilled.
