The patented StraightFlo™ compressor valve with
Modular Reed Technology:
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
StraightFlo™ reciprocating compressor valves are drop-in replacements for OEM valves in reciprocating compressors operating at speeds from 200 to 3,600+ rpm, pressure differentials up to 4,350 psi (300 bar), and service temperatures from -40° to 500°F (-40° to 260°C). They deliver exceptional performance and unmatched value for compressors in oil & gas applications, as well as in air, nitrogen, and hydrogen industrial gas services.
With traditional compressor valves, sealing elements are typically spring-actuated polymer plates, concentric rings, or poppets where the gas flowing through the inlet valve ports directly impacts the sealing elements and is then redirected multiple times before it can exit the outlet valve ports. This flow redirection creates a tortuous path for the gas, resulting in significant pressure drop across the valve.
Patented of StraightFlo™ valves feature a radically different and substantially better design. Their interchangeable, enhanced reed valve modules allow straight, unobstructed gas flow, resulting in the lowest pressure drop (highest efficiency) for a given valve diameter.
StraightFlo™ reed valve modules are held stationary between the valve seat and carrier. Components do not move or impact the metal housings, so normal wear-and-tear is completely contained inside the modules. This robust design makes StraightFlo™ valves more durable in operation and more tolerant of liquids and debris. They routinely transform service intervals of weeks or months into multi-year run times.
StraightFlo™ valves also provide a wide range of benefits to support your net-zero initiatives, including:
- Up to 15% emissions reduction
- Up to 15% lower power consumption
- Elimination of multiple blowdown, purging, and flaring events
- 10X less vibration
- 6-8 dB lower noise levels
- Lower carbon footprint from fewer service call-outs
- Reduced energy and materials waste by eliminating valve machining
* All valve performance statements are based on documented case studies.
