VALVE PLATE

Valve plates are used in various compressor applications across different gas compositions and operating temperatures, acting as seals between different pressure zones within the compressor. They open when differential pressures between zones are reached and allow gases to flow from high to low-pressure regions during the compression cycle.

Valve plates need to be durable and robust, and in many cases, also resistant to heat, pressure, and corrosion because of their frequent exposure to varying pressures and temperatures.

We use several PEEK compound materials based on the technical and strategic needs of different markets and applications. They significantly improve the lifespan of sealing elements in the valve. There is a dramatic increase in overall reliability and high-temperature performance compared to other commonly used valve plate materials.
