Compressor valves for reciprocating compressor
Compressor valves
In addition to its high-performance sealing parts for reciprocating compressors, CASTANET offer a complete range of valves for air and gas process compressors.
Thanks to our long experience in resolving valve service-life problems, we can provide technical support and improve the performance of your machines.
We supply :
- New compressor valves that are perfectly interchangeable,
- Internal replacement parts (thermoplastic or steel valve plates, damper plates, spring plates, springs, etc.),
- Valve reconditioning services,
- Technical studies to design complete new compressor valve assemblies based on your conditions of service,
- Technical support to modify and optimize existing compressor valves,
- Control systems for suction valves.
High-performance valves with reinforced polymer plates
We offer valves equipped with discs fabricated from high-performance polymers which can increase valve service life in spectacular fashion, as well as reduce compressor energy loss.
ADVANTAGES compared with steel plate valves
- Excellent service life of valve plates and seats
- Decrease in pressure drops, thus providing energy savings
- Elimination of damper plates (a more economical solution).
- Better behaviour with regard to liquids, condensates or possible gas pollution
- Very good dimensional stability of polymer valve plate
- Less risk of damaging the cylinder in the event of accidental breakage of valve plates
- Lower noise level during operation
- Better tightness seal
- Ability to attain higher valve lifts
- Reduction of impact on valve seat
