Claims20
A valve, comprising:
- an enclosure comprising an inlet and an outlet;
- a septum positioned within an interior of the enclosure, the septum comprising a first configuration at a first fluid pressure within the interior, and a second configuration at a second fluid pressure within the interior;
- a primary fluid path extending from the inlet to the outlet, wherein the primary fluid path is open when the septum is in the first configuration, and closed when the septum is in the second configuration;
- and
- a secondary fluid path extending from the inlet to the outlet, wherein the secondary fluid path is open when the septum is in the second configuration, wherein the primary fluid path comprises a primary flow rate capacity that is greater than a secondary flow rate capacity of the secondary fluid path.
