"Parallel diversion system" refers to a type of flow diversion system in which an apparatus, devices, system, structure, or the like is engineered, designed, configured, and/or implemented to divert a fluid flowing in a first path to flow both in the first path and in a second path such that at least a portion of the fluid flows in both the first path and the second path.
In certain embodiments, a parallel diversion system is a binary parallel diversion system such that transitioning a fluid from the first path to both the first path and the second path results in approximately fifty percent of the fluid flowing in both the first path and the second path. Activating the parallel diversion system transitions fluid flow in the first path from substantially no fluid flow to a fifty percent fluid flow.
In another embodiment, a parallel diversion system is a proportional diversion system such that transitioning a fluid from the first path to both the first path and the second path results in fluid flow in the second path increasing to a proportion of fluid flow that is equal to one minus a percentage of the fluid flowing in a fluid path that includes both the first path and the second path such that combining a percentage of the fluid flowing in the first path and a percentage of the fluid flowing in the second path substantially equals one hundred percent of the fluid flowing in the fluid path.
