Valve Plates

Valves are used within a compressor to allow gas flow to and from the cylinder area.

About Valve Plates

  • They operate based on pressure difference: if the pressure below the valve is greater than the pressure above plus the spring force, it opens.
  •  The valves function as spring-loaded non-return valves, with the gas only being able to flow in one direction.
  • Valve plate works with suction valves to compress low pressure suction gas into high pressure discharge gas.
