The maintenance and checking of the reciprocating compressor valve plates.
In reciprocating compressors, valve plates are essential to the refrigerant compression cycle. Their job is to allow gas to flow at the right moment and prevent backflow, ensuring a one-way flow.
When a suction or discharge valve fails, the compressor’s performance drops significantly: lower efficiency, higher energy consumption, overheating, and even mechanical damage.
That’s why preventive maintenance is crucial:
• Visually inspect discs and springs.
• Check for proper valve sealing.
• Clean out residue or carbonized oil, and resurface the plate if needed.
• Replace worn-out parts before they fail.
A well-maintained system not only saves energy—it also extends the compressor’s lifespan and helps avoid costly downtime.
