Abstract:
A technique provides enhanced control over a variety of hydraulically actuated devices, e.g. flow control valves. A hydraulic control module is placed in hydraulic communication with an actuator of a hydraulically actuated device. The hydraulic control module comprises features which prevent hydraulic locking of the system. Additionally, the control module may comprise metering features to enable metered flow of actuating fluid. The features may include valves, mini-indexers, flowline configurations, or other features which maintain the ability to shift the hydraulically actuated device and/or provide metering of the actuating fluid.
