Hydraulic control line filter for subsea high-pressure application
A hydraulic control line filter for subsea high-pressure applications has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11988061B2). The filter comprises a housing with a pressurized fluid inlet, an end cap with a filtered fluid outlet, a centralizer, a sump tube, a filter centralizer, and a fluid filter. The filter is designed to operate at pressures up to 15,000 psi and is part of a surface control subsurface safety valve (SCSSV). The components of the filter are tubular in shape, with the centralizer guiding fluid flow to the sump tube for filtration. The filter includes ports for fluid entry, slots for fluid guidance, and a porous sintered metal filter material for effective filtration.
The method of filtering fluid using this hydraulic control line filter involves accepting pressurized fluid, diverting it to the sump tube via the centralizer, allowing sediments to settle, and filtering the fluid through the fluid filter. The filtered fluid exits through the outlet in the end cap. The method includes connecting components through welding, fitting, and creating seal welds for a secure assembly. The centralizer's conical end aids in directing fluid flow to the sump tube for efficient filtration. This patented filter system offers a reliable solution for subsea high-pressure applications, ensuring effective filtration of contaminated fluids to maintain system integrity and performance.
