ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly comprising a rotary closure element which defines an axis of rotation and is selectively movable between a fully open position and a fully closed position. Mounted to and movable with the rotary closure element is an impedance assembly. The impedance assembly defines an inflow end and an outflow end, and comprises a plurality of fluid passageways which extend from the inflow end to the outflow end. Also partially defined by the impedance assembly is a flow opening which extends from the inflow end to the outflow end. The fluid passageways and the flow opening are oriented relative to each other such that a portion of a flow through the valve assembly is directed into the fluid passageways and a portion of the flow is directed through the flow opening when the closure element is in the fully open position.
