Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward a choke valve system including a choke valve body and a plurality of choke trims. The plurality of choke trims comprises a plug and cage choke trim, an external sleeve choke trim, and a drilling choke trim, wherein the drilling choke trim is configured to enable a fluid flow rate greater than the plug and cage choke trim and the external sleeve choke trim, and wherein each of the plurality of choke trims is configured to be mutually exclusively secured within the choke valve body.
Claims25
A choke valve system, comprising:
- a choke valve body having a chamber;
- a bonnet configured to couple with the choke valve body;
- and
- a plurality of choke trims, wherein the plurality of choke trims are different choke trim types,
- wherein each of the plurality of choke trims is configured to be mutually exclusively secured within the chamber in the choke valve body, and the bonnet closes an opening over the chamber and secures one of the plurality of choke trims in the chamber.
A choke valve system, comprising:
- a choke valve body;
- a plurality of choke trims, comprising at least two of:
- a plug and cage choke trim;
- an external sleeve choke trim;
- or
- a drilling choke trim, wherein the drilling choke trim is configured to enable a larger particle tolerance than the plug and cage choke trim and the external sleeve choke trim,
- wherein each of the plurality of choke trims is configured to be mutually exclusively secured within the choke valve body;
- an actuator configured to adjust a flow by adjusting a position of one choke trim of the plurality of choke trims mutually exclusively secured within the choke valve body;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator to adjust the flow by adjusting the position of the one choke trim based on an identified type of the one choke trim positioned within the choke valve body.
A choke valve system, comprising:
- a choke valve body;
- an opening in the choke valve body, wherein the opening is configured to mutually exclusively support one of a plurality of choke trims, comprising:
- a first choke trim;
- a second choke trim;
- and
- a third choke trim, wherein the first, second, and third choke trims are different types of choke trims, wherein the first, second, and third choke trims have different particle tolerances;
- an actuator configured to adjust a flow by adjusting a position of one choke trim of the plurality of choke trims mutually exclusively secured within the choke valve body;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator to adjust the flow by adjusting the position of the one choke trim based on an identified type of the one choke trim positioned within the choke valve body, wherein the identified type is one of the different types of choke trims.
A choke valve system, comprising:
- a choke valve body having a chamber;
- and
- a plurality of choke trims, wherein the plurality of choke trims are different choke trim types,
- wherein the choke valve body and the plurality of choke trims are designed to enable each of the different choke trim types of the plurality of choke trims to be mutually exclusively secured within the chamber in the choke valve body.
