Issues with the compressor’s air valves – feel free to join the discussion

I’ll offer it first! ~ The air valve of a reciprocating compressor is a relatively important component of the compressor. The compression power and the efficiency of the compressor are affected by the valves. The gas valve should meet the following conditions. 1. Turn it on when it’s time to turn it on, and turn it off when it’s time to turn it off. The log movement should be synchronized with the piston movement. If the spring force is not set properly, the air valve cannot open in time, resulting in a short gas flow time, insufficient air intake, and increased power consumption. The efficiency of compressing gas decreases. Failing to close the air valve in a timely manner can also lead to power waste. High-pressure gas flows back into the suction chamber, resulting in poor efficiency and even damage to components. 2. Prevent flutter when the valve disc rises. General flutter is caused by excessive spring force. The air flow circulation time is short. 3. The flow resistance of the air valve is reduced, which can lower power consumption. Therefore, for those with a smaller stroke, the multi-channel approach is more widely accepted.
