Abstract
A valve assembly includes a housing. A membrane supported by the housing such that the membrane covers a vapor passage defined by the housing. The membrane allows the passage of vapor through the membrane and prevents the passage of liquid through the membrane. A flow control feature is supported by the housing and at least partially controls flow of a vapor to the vapor passage. The flow control feature enables variable flow of vapor to the vapor passage.
