Various embodiments of a flow diverter, a valve and a method of controlling air flow in the valve are disclosed. The flow diverter has a cylindrical body, a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart longitudinal members, an open end portion, a closed end portion and a raised element extending outwardly from the closed end portion. The flow diverter is disposed in a cavity in the valve. The cavity is in communication with a supply passage, an exhaust passage and a delivery passage. Air passes through the flow diverter to the delivery passage when the flow diverter is in a delivery position. Air moves the flow diverter from the delivery position to an exhaust position when air pressure in the delivery passage is greater than air pressure in the supply passage. The flow diverter restricts air from passing from the delivery passage to the supply passage when in the exhaust position. |
