Abstract:
A three-way valve includes an inflow port, a body having therein a valve chamber introducing fluid from an inflow passage of the inflow port; a first outflow port having an outflow passage extending at an acute angle to a reference direction in which the inflow passage extends; a second outflow port having an outflow passage extending from the valve chamber at an acute angle to the reference direction; and a valve element disposed inside the valve chamber and movable to adjust flow rates of the fluid in the first outflow port and the second outflow port. At least one of the first outflow port and the second outflow port includes a bent portion connecting the outflow passage and a downstream passage such that the downstream passage becomes closer to the reference direction than an extending direction of the outflow passage to the reference direction.

Claim (Index 4):
The three-way valve according to  claim 1 , wherein the angle between the reference direction and the direction in which the downstream passage extends is smaller than the angle between the reference direction and the direction in which the outflow passage extends.
