<p>In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a valve is disclosed. The valve includes a valve body, a seat, a poppet, and a shaped portion. The valve body has an inlet portion and an outlet portion. The seat is between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The poppet is proximate the seat. The poppet is adapted to modulate fluid flow between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The shaped portion is downstream of the seat. The shaped portion is adapted to direct fluid flow, reduce cross flow interference, and allow for substantially parallel fluid flow jets at a majority of the inlet portion and the outlet portion when fluid is flowing through the valve.</p> |
