An improved servo-driven pulser is disclosed, for use in measurement while drilling applications. In the pulser, a battery powered on-board DC electric motor is used to operate a servo-valve, which in turn adjusts internal tool fluid pressures to cause operation of a main valve to substantially reduce mud flow to a drill bit, thereby creating a positive pressure pulse detectable at the surface. De-energizing the motor driving the pilot valve results in re-adjustment of internal fluid pressures, causing the main valve to reopen, thereby terminating the pressure pulse.

A vibration damper includes a cylinder within which a piston is slidably received thereby defining compression and rebound chambers. The piston has a bore with a valve seat through which fluid flows between those chambers. A poppet selectively engages the valve seat and forms a pilot chamber an opposite side of the poppet from the valve seat. The greater pressure within the compression or rebound chambers is applied by a first logic arrangement to the pilot chamber and a pilot spool control a fluid flow between the pilot chamber and a pressure cavity in the piston body. A second logic arrangement connects the pressure cavity to either the compression and rebound chamber which has the lesser pressure. A solenoid that moves the pilot valve element to control pressure in the pilot chamber and thus the amount that the poppet moves to allow fluid flow through the piston.

An expansible chamber pneumatic system, for example a fluid pump system, includes two or more double-acting diaphragm pumps, each with symmetrical left and right pump housings, each housing including an air chamber and a fluid chamber separated by a movable diaphragm. The diaphragms are connected for reciprocating movement in unison to pump fluid through their respective fluid chambers. Each pump includes an air valve actuated by Control air to direct Process air into one of the air chambers, simultaneously releasing used Process air from the other air chamber to thereby move the diaphragms, thereby to pump fluid. A pilot valve directs Control air to the air valve to position the air valve. The pilot valve is responsive to diaphragms reaching their travel limit in one direction to direct Control air to reverse the directions of Process air flow through the air valve to thereby reverse the movement of the pump diaphragms. Control air exhausts through the pilot valve to atmosphere. Process air exhausts through the air valve from one pump to become input or motive air for the next pump.

A pilot-operated valve has a main poppet controlling fluid flow between inlet and outlet ports in response to pressure in a control chamber. Fluid flow through a pilot passage, linking the control chamber and the outlet port, moves an exhaust spool between first and second positions to control fluid flow through passages in the main poppet. The first position blocks flow between the control chamber and the outlet port and provides a path between the control chamber and the inlet port. In the second position, flow between the control chamber and the outlet port is enabled, and a second path, that is more restricted than the first path, is provided between the control chamber and the inlet port. When the valve closes, flow through the first path allows movement of the main poppet at a faster rate than during opening when flow occurs through the more restricted second path.

A system for hydraulically managing fluid pressure between selected set points includes a pilot control system operably coupled to a main valve. The pilot control system includes at least one fluid conduit, a variable orifice assembly, and a control pilot valve apparatus. Fluid is passed through a fixed orifice and into a first chamber of the control pilot valve apparatus. Fluid is passed through the variable orifice of the variable orifice assembly and into a second chamber of the control pilot valve apparatus. The main valve is hydraulically opened or closed in response to a pressure differential between the first and second chambers of the control pilot valve apparatus so as to manage fluid pressure downstream of the main valve between the selected upper and lower set points.

A valve manifold includes a valve body carrying pairs of laterally spaced piston actuated valves controlled by control modules operative to selective pressurize and exhaust an outlet port connected to a fluidic device and configured in grouping permitting varying valve functionalities.

The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and system of an inline direct acting solenoid pilot valve. The valve has a solenoid assembly with a longitudinally moveable core assembly that shifts alternatively between sealing engagement on a lower first end of the core assembly with a pilot port formed in a poppet and sealing engagement on an opposite upper end with a stationary pilot exhaust port in the solenoid assembly. The core assembly can move in the same or opposite direction than the poppet and thus is independently moveable from the poppet to effect the various modes of operation. Because the movement is independent, the core assembly can advantageously operate within the solenoid with a shorter stroke to produce a higher overall force per length relative to a conventional core assembly stroke that is longer than the poppet stroke. The overall design allows a more compact and simplified design.

A sleeve valve includes a rigid mandrel with a plurality of openings and a generally cylindrical elastomeric sleeve that surrounds the mandrel. A generally cylindrical rigid sleeve valve housing surrounds the elastomeric sleeve and defines a control chamber between the elastomeric sleeve and the sleeve valve housing. A pilot valve is mounted to the sleeve valve housing for supplying pressurized liquid to, and venting pressurized liquid from, the control chamber through a first passage formed in the sleeve valve housing. A filter screens debris from pressurized liquid entering an inlet end of the sleeve valve housing before it enters a second passage that communicates with the pilot valve.

A clog resistant, pilot operated pilot valve having two fluid paths, one path for fluid flow from the valve input to the valve output, and the second path for fluid flow through input and output pilot apertures. The opening and closing of the pilot apertures controls the flow of fluid between the input and output of the pilot valve. A clog resistant pilot operated valve in which fluid flows through the pilot fluid path only during the time of transition from an valve open to a valve closed condition, or vice-versa, thereby reducing the probability of failure due to contaminants blacking the pilot activation path. A clog resistant pilot operated valve in which the plunger, used to open and close the pilot fluid paths, is ribbed in construction to reduce the probability that contaminants will cause seizure of the plunger movement.
