Suction valve or load / unload valve
This is usually set at the top of the compressing unit. Responsible for
drawing the raw air inward to be processed by the rotary screw element.
Opens fully when system pressure drops below the minimum set limit also
called as loading and closes the valves called as unloading when the
system pressure reaches the maximum set limit.
About the part
Suction valves get triggered by your machine’s programmed stage settings
to close and open, which ensures the efficiency of the rotary screw units.
As they are engineered to suit different design elements for maximizing
airflow, suction valves are available in different configurations. The poppet
valve, the ring valve, and the plate valve are the three types of suction
valves. Each of them has its distinct concentric layers to ensure ideal air
flows for specific operation types.
