Abstract
A bi-stable valve includes a valve body that has a valve inlet, a first valve outlet, and a second valve outlet. The valve body defines a preferential wall that is convex in shape that draws a flow passing through the valve inlet primarily towards the first valve outlet at a low back pressure at the first valve outlet. The valve body defines a second wall that is convex in shaped to draw the flow passing through the valve inlet more towards the second valve outlet as the back pressure at the first valve outlet increases.
