Disclosed is a three-way ball valve (10) comprising a housing (12) which comprises two discharge elements (22, 24) located on a common first axis (28) pointing in opposite directions and an input element (20) arranged perpendicular thereto; on the axis thereof (second axis 30) a spindle or similar drive element (26) is arranged on each side of the intersection pint (32) with the first axis, with which a substantially spherical control element (40) which is also mounted in the housing and which is provided with bore holes can rotate about the second axis. The spherical control element (40) is provided with at least two, preferably three, sack holes (62-66) having approximately the same diameter, whose axes lie on a common plane which includes the intersection point and extend at an angle of 120 DEG in relation to each other and in a perpendicular manner with respect to the second axis. The control element comprises an inlet channel (60) leading from the region of the intersection point along the second axis to the entrance of the housing. |
