Abstract
A flow and fluid conditioning pressure reduction valve or device includes an inlet and an outlet. The valve or device includes at least one relatively long flow bore conduit shaped as a spiral or a spiral arranged on the surface of a disc or cone. Each spiral shaped conduit includes at least one rotation and each spiral shaped conduit may be closely packed. The conduit arranged between the inlet and the outlet has reduced flow cross section area, and the length, the cross section area, and the number of the spiral shaped conduits in line determine the pressure reduction of a given fluid at a given flow rate.
