Abstract: A vital part of every reciprocating compressor is the spring-loaded check valves. When these valves fail, the compressor must be shut down for repairs. In the majority of cases, the compressor valves operate for thousands of hours without failure. Operators tend to forget the important role that valves play in efficient and uninterrupted reciprocating compressor operation. Traditionally, compressor valves have utilized metallic flat plates, flat rings, flat strip, or flat channels. My contribution to this panel session is to discuss the state of the art of contoured ring compressor valves and their potential contribution to your compressor requirements.
