RDV for High-Speed Compressors

Cut Horsepower Usage by 10%

Looking for a way to make meaningful improvements in your high-speed compressor operations?

It’s as easy as changing a compressor valve.

The patented Ring Damped Valve runs reliably at higher lifts, increasing flow area and reducing energy consumption by 10% (on average).

What’s more, the damping ring, along with other design features, cushions opening and closing impacts – so valves last longer and you avoid downtime and repair expenses.

The bottom line: You get a rapid return on investment and substantial ongoing savings without sacrificing run time.

Impact level reduction with Ring Damped Valve upgrade

Gas Storage Facility Sets New Records for Valve Performance and Reliability

When compared to traditional aftermarket plate valves in the second-stage cylinder of a reciprocating compressor working at 896 rpm to process gas of 95% CO2, Ring Damped Valves showed 11% higher flow (MMSCFD) and lower impact levels – resulting in improved economic performance and longer valve life.
