Claim 10:
11. A flow circuit, comprising:
a sharp turn and
a flow splitter fluidly coupled downstream of the sharp turn such that an initial flow through the flow circuit enters the sharp turn and then flows to the flow splitter, the flow splitter comprising an inlet, at least two outlets; and an internal vane, the internal vane comprising:
a first end located at 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; and
wherein the internal vane splits the 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.
