Valve system

A method for directing a flow of a fluid through an apparatus comprising:

• a housing having a chamber inside of the housing;
• an inlet port in communication with the chamber;
• a first outlet port in communication with the chamber;
• a second outlet port in communication with the chamber;
• and
• a moveable barrier located in the chamber, wherein the moveable barrier is rotatable about an axis between a closed position and an open position, wherein in the open position the moveable barrier allows a fluid to flow from the inlet port into both the first outlet port and the second outlet port, and wherein in the closed position the moveable barrier seals the second outlet port to prevent the fluid from moving through the second outlet port and also reduces flow of the fluid from the inlet port to the first outlet port, relative to flow of the fluid to the first outlet port when the moveable barrier is in the open position, and wherein the method comprises:
• forcing fluid into the inlet port to create a fluid flow, wherein when the fluid flows into the chamber the moveable barrier moves into the open position and allows the fluid to flow into both the first outlet port and the second outlet port;
• and
• reducing fluid into the inlet port, wherein when the fluid flow reduces the moveable barrier moves into the closed position, wherein in the closed position the fluid flow is cut off to the second outlet port and also the fluid flow is reduced to the first outlet port relative to the fluid flow to the first outlet port when the moveable barrier is in the open position.

A valve system comprising:

• a housing having a chamber inside of the housing;
• an inlet port located on a first side of the housing and in communication with the chamber;
• a first outlet port located on a second side of the housing and in communication with the chamber, wherein the second side is opposite the first side;
• a second outlet port located on the second side of the housing and in communication with the chamber;
• and a moveable barrier located in the chamber, wherein the moveable barrier is rotatable about an axis between a closed position and an open position, wherein in the open position the moveable barrier allows a fluid to flow from the inlet port into both the first outlet port and the second outlet port, and wherein in the closed position the moveable barrier seals the second outlet port to prevent the fluid from moving through the second outlet port and also reduces flow of the fluid from the inlet port to the first outlet port, relative to flow of the fluid to the first outlet port when the moveable barrier is in the open position.
