Compressor valve maintenance knowledge
The valve is a part that requires regular maintenance and replacement. The life and maintenance cycle depends on many factors:
1 Use of the compressor (process compressor or maintenance compressor)
2 The working system of the compressor (continuous or intermittent)
3 compressor speed, pressure, compression ratio and gas properties (corrosive and non-corrosive, with or without gas filtration device) At the same time, the compressor manufacturer will also give the corresponding maintenance and repair requirements.
The following are the steps for valve maintenance:
1. Remove the gas valve from the compressor
2. Disassembly of valve
3. Cleaning parts
4. Check the working condition of the valve, in particular: the sealing surface (valve seat), valve plate, spring position
5. Repair and replace worn parts
6. Assemble the valve
