CP valve

The best way to tackle extreme differences in temperature and dry gases

The liquefaction and vaporisation of gases

make high demands on efficiency and service life
A wide temperature range and extreme dryness of gases place
extra demands on the compressor valves.

However, they have the following

disadvantages:
The impact resistance of steel
reduces sharply as the temperature
drops
Dry gases cause the steel plates to
wear out more quickly
Conventional steel-plate valves
typically show higher pressure losses

Profiled valve plates deliver

Considerably greater efficiency
Reductions in flow losses, and
hence lower energy costs
No secondary damage caused by
