  • Compressor valve assembly with improved flow efficiency
    Patent number: 5885064
    Abstract: An improved reed type compressor discharge valve assembly uses a conventional reed and reed stop, but increases flow efficiency past the reed with a uniquely configured valve plate port. The valve plate port has an elongated ovoid or teardrop shape, oriented colinear to and symmetrical to the reed. A greater surface area is thus opened to the underside of the reed, compared to a round port, and the wider end of the port is located beneath the higher lifting free end of the reed, providing for a larger, more efficient flow path.
