Multi-functioning electric cleaning/flow splitter/circulation sub

A method of circulating a fluid in a borehole, comprising:

• disposing a work string in the borehole, the work string including a sub comprising:
• a housing having a first section including a first flow bore and a second section including a second flow bore;
• a valve between the first flow bore and the second flow bore;
• at least one slot at a side of the housing in the first section;
• a sleeve movable within the first flow bore, the sleeve having an end proximate the valve and at least one opening along its side;
• a linear actuator for moving the sleeve;
• and
• operating the linear actuator using an electrical motor disposed within the first flow bore to place the sleeve in a position at which the end of the sleeve closes the valve and fluid flows from the first flow bore to a region outside of the housing through the at least one opening.
