How to determine if there is a fault with the air valves of a reciprocating compressor?
Insufficient pressure and gas leakage prevent the device from functioning properly
The pressure in front of the machine increases while the pressure behind it decreases; no work is done, and abnormal noises can be heard inside the cylinder block
1. Listen to the sound 2. Check the temperature 3. Check the pressure
The most direct indicator is temperature; if the exhaust valve is faulty, the exhaust temperature will rise； If the suction valve fails, the corresponding suction temperature will rise. As for pressure, it is not as apparent compared to temperature.

Insufficient pressure, gas leakage, noise, and the device cannot function properly
