A fluid diverter system for diverting a flow of fluid from an inlet port to one or the other of a pair of fluid passages includes a bypass passage which is provided between the fluid passages immediately upstream of a pair of closure members. The pair of fluid passages and bypass passage are adapted to produce turbulence at an entrance area of the bypass passage to prevent stagnation of some of the fluid within the fluid diverter system.

[ We claim:] [1.] A diverter valve comprising a valve body defining flow path means including inlet means and first and second passage means located downstream of said inlet means and being in flow communication with said inlet means for dividing an incoming fluid flow into two separate streams, said first and second passage means operatively communicating with respective outlet means, closure means for closing fluid flow through a selected one of said first and second passage means, and bypass passage means provided in said valve body and extending between said first and second passage means upstream of said closure means, said flow path means being adapted to create turbulence in the fluid flow at an entrance area of said bypass passage means.
