UNITED 'AN' Series
Valves are charged with nitrogen pressure acting on the bellows. This
determines the set pressure of the valve. Nitrogen charged valves are
primarily sensitive to casing pressure. The valve is open when the
combination of pressures supplied by the casing and tubing exceed the dome
pressure. As the casing pressure declines to the valve set pressure, the gas
lift valve closes. Since the casing pressure controls the valve operation,
the nitrogen charge is reduced in each lower valve to avoid interference
with the upper valves.
All UNITED Series Valves
are suitable for either continuous, flow or intermittent lift wells.
Features :
-
Valves are sized to be
compatible with most conventional mandrels in service today.
-
Mechanical stops limit
bellows travel in both directions. This provides bellows protection
and assures long life by keeping bellows travel within
design limits.
-
Tungsten carbide balls
and seats provide for long wear against abrasive and corrosive fluids.
-
Replaceable floating
seats give excellent alignment for positive seal.
-
Large dome volume gives
smooth stable valve operation that prevents stem and seat cutting.
