Operation
The NOVA-10-B valve uses a nozzle venturi orifice with a barrier-qualified
check valve for continuous flow operations. It is installed in a side pocket
mandrel. Injection fluid or gas enters through the valve entry ports and
then flows through the nozzle venturi orifice. Injection pressure moves the
check valve off the seat, enabling gas to enter the production conduit.

A representative performance curve shows that NOVA-10-B valves achieve critical flow with a pressure drop of 10% or less, while
conventional orifice valves require an approximately 40% drop.
