SOLUTIONS / STEP 03
03 Valve Type and Configuration
With the equipment and operating data in hand, we choose the valve type and configuration. Final dimensions, materials, lift and springs are fixed on the agreed drawing and specification.
What to Send
We need the equipment details, the gas and operating range, and the problem you want solved or the project requirement.
- Compressor manufacturer, model, stage, valve position and installation dimensions
- Gas composition, pressure, temperature, flow, speed, lubrication and contamination or liquid-carryover conditions
- Failure symptoms, maintenance records, applicable standards and editions, and inspection or documentation requirements
What We Check
Against your actual conditions we check flow passages, plates or poppets, springs and cushioning, materials, lift, flow capacity, opening and closing motion, impact, contamination or liquid risk, installation and clearance. The catalogue and case studies describe valve configurations and applications on other compressors.
What You Get
A recommended valve type, a list of any data still missing, dynamic and interface checks, and the points to settle on the drawing and technical specification.
Send Your Data
Check the catalogue and cases for the closest match. If a valve is already failing, see the Support page. Then send the equipment, operating and maintenance records you can share through the contact page.
