Abstract: Material suitable for the manufacture of valve shutters for the cylinders of the reciprocating compressors comprising a thermoplastic matrix consisting of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or polyether imide (PEI) or mixtures thereof filled with glass and/or carbon fibers, characterized by comprising, in percentages by weight at least one of the following inorganic nano-particles, or a mixture thereof: 4-30% of wollastonite, 4-30% of metal oxide, 4-30% of carbon nano-fibers, 4-30% of sepiolite, 4-30% of mixtures of silica and alumina, 4-30% of fluoro-mica for a total quantity of 4-30% of nano-particles.

Abstract: Equipment for continuous regulation of the flow rate of fluid in a reciprocating compressor which has a compression chamber with a piston reciprocally movable therein. The compression chamber has an inlet valve and an outlet valve which delivers fluid to a reservoir. A translation device is movable to open the valve and allow closing of the valve. An actuator engages the translation device and includes a rod. The rod has a magnitizable central element located between solenoids of an electromechanical device. The central element is located in a prefixed position with respect to the solenoids under the resilient loading of a resilient device. Detectors are provided for detecting the position of the piston, the pressure in the reservoir and the position of the actuator.

Abstract: Method for controlling the position of an electromechanical actuator for reciprocating compressor valves. The actuator includes a member (302) movable in a direction parallel to the direction for opening and closing the obturator of the valve (12), between a position corresponding to the closed position and a position corresponding to the open position of the obturator (11). The member (302) is provided with a mechanism (322) able to act on the obturator (11) and with a magnetizable portion (312) co-operating with two electromagnets (102, 202) and being arranged in equilibrium between the latter via a suitable mechanism.

Abstract: Equipment for continuous regulation of the flow rate for a reciprocating compressor, provided with at least one compression chamber (1) in which is slidably inserted a piston means (101) movable with a reciprocating motion, at least one inlet valve (2) for the fluid to be compressed and at least one outlet valve (4) for the compressed fluid being provided in the said chamber, the said outlet valve (4) being connected to a storage reservoir (10) for the compressed fluid, and the said inlet valve (2) being provided with translation means (502, 512) which can act on the obturator (302) of the said valve (2), the said translation means (502, 512) being movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the said obturator (302), and interacting with actuator means (3, 103, 203) which are movable in the said direction with a reciprocating motion by means of suitable operating means (303, 403); the said operating means (303, 403) make it possible to control the velocity of displacement of the said actuator means (

Abstract: Valve for the control of large-section flows with high operating frequency, and in particular for compressors or the like, comprising a flow aperture (102; 106) and a closure device (3; 8), said flow aperture comprising one or more orifices (102; 106) formed on a fixed body (2; 6) cooperating with said closure device (3; 8) and introduced into the flow channel (1), said closure device (3; 8) rotating with respect to an axis perpendicular to the plane on which said fixed body (2; 6) lies, and being equipped with driving means (5); said closure device (3; 8) is equipped with at least a hollow (123; 138) on the surface facing said fixed body (2; 6) which houses an insert (113; 118), said insert being formed so as to be substantially complementary with said orifice (102; 106) of said fixed body (2; 6).
