Time was when a valve job was done with some valve-grinding compound and a vacuum cup on a stick. But no more. Today's high performance engines require the same machining precision in the valves that ...

Never underestimate the power of a well-stocked junk bin. Along with a TIG welder and mechanical ingenuity bordering on genius-level, all of which come to bear on this fridge compressor to four-stroke ...

The problem: A piston-type reciprocating compressor has had valve damage, or the valves just are not sealing for some reason. This low-temperature refrigeration system has a thermostatic expansion ...

Diagnosing a faulty compressor valve is something HVAC technicians have to deal with on a semi-regular basis, and while a bad valve is often not the main reason a compressor fails, it is an integral ...

Installing a recycle valve in parallel with the antisurge valve of a turbine-driven multistage (low pressure/high pressure) centrifugal compressor, in combination with control system modifications, ...
