Abstract
A hydraulic circuit for borehole telemetry apparatus is presented wherein a mud pulse valve is operated by hydraulic pressure applied to differential areas of an actuating piston. The system includes a hydraulic pump, a filter in the line between the pump and the piston to be actuated, an accumulator upstream of the filter, a regulating and relief valve downstream of the filter, and solenoid actuated valves to control delivery of hydraulic fluid to the piston. The system also includes a pressure compensating bellows to compensate for changes in pressure in the drilling mud.
