Claim 0:
1. A flow splitter selectively fluidly coupled downstream of a sharp turn of a fluid circuit, comprising:
an inlet;
at least two outlets; and
an internal vane comprising a first end located at to the inlet and a second end corresponding to the at least two outlets, wherein the internal vane is configured to turn, between the first end and the second end, an internal flowing fluid from 0 degrees to a degree between about 60 degrees and 150 degrees, the internal vane forming a first conduit and a second conduit using the internal vane, the first conduit and the second conduit having equal cross-sectional areas between the first end and the second end;
wherein the internal vane splits an initial flow of the internal flowing fluid at the first end into a first sub-flow through the first conduit and a second sub-flow through the second conduit, the first sub-flow being isolable from the second sub-flow through and downstream of the flow splitter by the internal vane.
