Direct-HD is the second generation of Rime’s uncompensated patented rotary shear valve servo pulser. It builds on the proven success of Rime’s first generation direct servo pulser and adds significant improvements in reliability across the entire operating regime.
Direct-HD features a rotary shear servo valve that provides exceptional performance in high solids and high LCM environments. It minimizes the pressure loss through the servo module, thus allowing greater forces to be imparted to the main valve assembly. this helps create more reliable, sharper and cleaner pulses than can be achieved with other types of servo pulsers. The wiping and cutting action of the rotary shear valve clears away any compacted debris and ensures unobstructed flow through the system in the most challenging and contaminated environments.
Direct-HD eliminates the need for a hydrostatically compensated section in the servo pulser module through the use of a proprietary high pressure, low friction sealing system. This dramatically reduces maintenance and service cycle times and greatly increases system reliability. these improvements are coupled with a compact, modular and rugged pulser driver with extensive performance and maintenance tracking capabilities.
Direct-HD is available in both dual port or quad port versions. Dual-port provides the highest level of lcm capability while quad-port offers the ability to achieve faster pulse widths. Direct-HD is available with many connector and interface options including kintec, lemo and mdm.
The combination of the rotary shear valve, uncompensated direct drive and robust control electronics enables Direct-HD to have exceptional performance in fast cycle drilling operations and hostile fluid environments while maintaining low operating cost, high reliability and exceptional functionality.
