Poppet valves
The reliable valve for low speed compressors
- high free lift area and high equivalent area for cost-effective operation and short payback period
- efficient performance and long life
- reduced parts inventory; interchangeable parts
- sealing elements made from high performance special grades of nylon or Peek
- deck and a half and double-deck designs are available
- plug and finger unloaders are available
Poppet valves are ideal for low to medium compression ratios and low to medium speeds, 180-600 RPM. Within these parameters a high lift can be applied and the poppets will have adequate time to reach their maximum lift during each compression cycle.
