Turbolizers

Specification of Turbolizers :

Turbolizers are similar to straight casing Centralizer except that these are having turbulence vanes fitted on each bow. The vanes are scientifically shaped into multi direction design to give the fluid an outward and spirally direction against the walls of the well hole and around the casing. To give them maximum strength, the vanes are made of spring steel material and heat-treated to meet the required mechanical propriety. The vanes are oriented for left and right hand deflection.



 

Specification of Double Turbine Vanes Turbolizers :

The double turbine vane turbolizers have a vane attached to each end of each bow. The vanes at the bottom are oriented in the opposite direction from those vanes at the top.


 

Advantages of using Turbolizers :

Turbolizers are used to generate turbulence in the fluid rising through the annulus and also to deflect the flow of fluid. The turbulence cleans up the annulus, distributes cement evenly and prevents channeling to achieve a solid fill. The vanes cause axial twist and spiral circulation of the fluid and cement around the casing as well as against the walls of the well. The swirling action so created forces heavier sealing materials in the circulating fluid into pores and cracks.

LU-Turbolizers when compressed to their minimum O.D. in deviated wells, return to their original size without any distortion to either bows or vanes.
