  • Patent number: 9702353
    Abstract: A valve plate (1) made of fiber-reinforced plastic for gas exchange valves for reciprocating piston compressors comprises at least two concentric sealing rings (3) which cooperate with corresponding sealing surfaces (4) at the valve seal (5) by way of profiled sealing surface (2) and that are connected by way of radial webs (6). In order to improve the flexibility of the valve plate (1) and the sealing behavior, the webs (6) are designed thinner along the entire radial extent thereof between the sealing rings (3) on both sides of the valve plate (1) compared to the adjacent thickness of the sealing rings (3).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2017

  • Patent number: 8500420
    Abstract: A suction valve includes a non-rotatable lock sleeve 20 concentrically arranged on a valve seat 3, the lock sleeve having a non-circular outer contour onto which an unloader 22 is placed with its radial central section 28 and which is correspondingly formed in a diametrically opposed manner to prevent turning.

  • Patent number: 8444402
    Abstract: To reduce the clearance volume for a crank-side concentric suction and pressure valve, it is proposed to arrange a sealing 20 axially abutting on the suction and pressure valve 2,3, wherein the sealing 20 consists of a number of pressure packings 21a, 21 which are arranged axially one behind the other.
