Motorized low flow diverter valve (0.3 Cv range)

(OP)
I am looking for a low flow diverter valve (motorized). Belimo talks of having one coming to market but not for monthes.  I need it now (16 toltal). Stainless steel.
Fluid is water +42 to 53 F flow rates are .07 to 5.0 lbs per minute.
If you know of a mfg. please let me know too.

Hi!
Can you please explain me how will this valve work?

This type of valve is a motorized to open spring to close (fail to close). It would receive a signal to open from a controller, as fluid flows through the valve and a flowmeter, the feed back signal from the flowmeter will tell the controller to open the valve more or less to maintain the required rate. Fluid flow in excess of the rate required is diverted through the diverter port.
There are many valves like this on the market, but are too large for my application.
In addition to my valve requirement in my initial post it would be nice if the outlet port was characterized.

unclesyd,
Thank you for your input, I have been there, done that. This seems to be one of those; can do, but no time allowed, projects.
I have experience with Badger Valve, a quality outfit for sure.  In this particular application they cannot help.

Best Regards
