CPI Valves

CPI radiused disc compressor valves are recognised as outstandingly reliable in the oil, gas, petrochemical and air separation industries worldwide.

The CPI radiused disc valve is capable of operating across a wide range of parameters reaching temperatures of up to 200°C/390°F and pressures in excess of 400 bar/6000psi, and is suitable for sour gas applications.

Each valve is individually computer designed to match the compressor operating conditions for each application. To achieve this, close co-operation with the operator or compressor manufacturer is involved, including full operating and dimensional data retrieval to ensure complete interchange ability.

CPI valve design

CPI’s team of valve and compression engineers, using our sophisticated valve dynamics programs, can not only carry out valve performance modelling for design purposes, but can also analyse existing installations and assess whether the optimum valve design is being used. Together with an R&D programme that is focused on all aspects of valve design detail, including reliability, efficiency, ease of installation and maintenance.

Un-loaders

CPI valves can be supplied with suction valve un-loaders of various types, such as finger-type and plug-type un-loaders.

Actuators

CPI also supplies a range of quality valve un-loader actuators, designed specifically for each application.

CPI compressor valve dynamics study

When designing new valves CPI is able to study the predicted performance of their valves under known operating conditions and to derive suction and discharge valve motion, PV diagram, pressure drops, power loss, anticipated gas velocities, valve disc opening velocity, volumetric efficiency and piston loadings, to give optimum design solution.

Trouble shooting and performance analysis

Using wide field experience accumulated by CPI across a broad variety of compressor applications and with the predictability available from an effective valve dynamics program CPI is able to recommend changes to resolve poor reliability issues. By using its valve dynamics study capability, CPI is also able to look at existing installations and recommend improvements to existing compressor valves, either of a similar type or involving a change from other valve types, such as ported plate, concentric flat ring, poppet or channel, to the CPI preferred valve, with its emphasis on performance improvement and power savings.
