    摘要: A system for retaining a valve assembly in a cavity formed in a cylinder body of a compressor includes a ring having a through-hole positioned adjacent to the cavity and a cover partially inserted inside a through-hole of the ring. The cover and the ring can slide relative to each other. The position of the cover relative to the cylinder body can be adjusted by tightening a cover retainer. The cover applies a downward force on the valve assembly via a cage. The downward force is used to compress a seal located between the valve assembly and the cylinder body. A seal is positioned between the ring and the cover. The seal remains squeezed when the cover and the ring slide relative to each other. The system can be used to convert a jackbolt cage-cover assembly and may not require significant machining of the cavity to provide a surface-finish with a suitable roughness for a sealing surface.

    摘要: A reed valve module includes a module body and a reed petal. The module body includes a seating surface located on a first side of the module body and a sealing face located on a second side the module body. The reed petal is positioned adjacent to the second side of the module body and adapted to seal against the sealing face when the reed petal is in a closed position, wherein the reed valve module is a self-contained modular unit that is adapted to be inserted into a receiving cavity of a modular reed valve assembly such that the seating surface is positioned adjacent to a retaining surface of the modular reed valve assembly and an interfacing surface of the reed valve module is positioned adjacent to a second retaining surface of the modular reed valve assembly, and wherein the reed valve module is adapted to be captured and retained within the modular reed valve assembly between the first and second retaining surfaces.

    摘要: A valve assembly includes a seat plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, a plurality of first valve modules arranged in a first level relative to the seat plate such that a first seating face of each of the plurality of first valve modules is substantially co-planar with a first plane that is substantially parallel to at least one of the top surface and the bottom surface of the seat plate, and at least one second valve module arranged in a second level relative to the seat plate such that a second seating face of the at least one second valve module is co-planar with a second plane that is substantially parallel to the first plane, wherein the second plane is offset from the first plane by a first distance.

    摘要: A mesh valve protection device includes at least one layer of mesh, wherein the mesh valve protection device is adapted to be positioned proximate an inlet of a valve assembly so that a fluid flow controlled by the valve assembly passes through the at least one layer of mesh of the mesh valve protection device before passing through the valve assembly.
