Compressor Valve Assemblies for Better Reliability and Quality

Many aviation systems, as well as systems in a myriad of other industries, rely on pressurized fluid devices known as hydraulic systems that depend on precisely pressurized gasses or liquids to operate. Typically, these systems require the pressure of their fluids to be between a specific threshold of per square inch (psi). As such, hydraulic systems employ controls for mitigating the flow of gasses and fluids, allowing for more accurate operations. Available in a number of designs and comprising varying components, a compressor valve assembly is any gas or fluid control system. As the term varies in the types of components it refers to base on the exact application, this blog will take a closer look at what defines a compressor valve assembly and what you should consider when searching for better reliability quality parts and replacements.

In general, compressors are mechanisms that work to increase the pressure of a wide variety of highly compressible gasses and liquids, and compressor valve assemblies are the collection of parts directly related to the valve piece. The valve may be one of a number of styles, varying by the fluid for which they are intended to work with and the manner by which they control flow. Both fluid and gas control valves are available; for example, internal combustion valves work specifically with combustion gasses in engines. Given the many applications for pressurized fluids, there are numerous valve parts that covering would go beyond the scope of this blog. That being said, a general compressor valve assembly includes every peripheral device that is directly related to both the installation, as well as the functioning of the valves.

In addition to the full fluid control mechanism and its casing, compressor valve assemblies encompass every peripheral device that is directly related to both the installation and the functioning of the valves. In some situations, valve assemblies may also include ancillary devices like mounting adapter sets and spare seals. Given the vast collection of parts required for a single valve assembly, one may typically procure a complete package with all necessary items, but some larger valve assemblies should be purchased part-by-part to minimize costs.

For pressurized systems, reliable and high quality part types are a must because compressor valve assemblies are constantly exposed to high pressure, as well as wear and tear from daily functions. For these reasons, it is important to ensure the materials used for specific parts of your assembly are able to work in your system’s conditions. This is especially important for the rings and plates used in your assemblies, and it includes considering the exposure to corrosive gasses, extreme temperatures, and more.

Oftentimes, compressor valve assemblies take in and compress air from the surrounding atmosphere. Compressed air, in most cases, is usually very hot and cannot be used directly, so one may consider the use of an air for containing accumulated moisture in the tank that occurs during this process for draining purposes.

Given the many part types and intended purposes of compressor valve assemblies available on the market, it is important to do research before procuring what you need for your unique pressurized system.
