compressor check valve

In short, a check valve in an air compressor is one of those very small yet highly crucial components that contribute to the seamless operation of the appliance. It is essentially a fancy gate-way regulating the flow of air in the compressor system. This valve is planted between the tank where the air is stored and the pipe through which air leaves outside. This is the crucial part where it allows compressed air to escape out into the pipe but do not let any air come back in. This one-way flow is very important as it ensures an even air pressure, which needs to be maintained for the compressor to work properly.

Also, there are lots of advantages to using a compressor check valve. The most important point, it saves energy for the air compressor. A valve that stops air from returning into the holding tank cuts back on how tough a compressor must work to have adequate pressure. This saves energy, as well reducing the compressor wear and tear allowing it to work better for longer.

Benefits of Using a Compressor Check Valve

Security is yet an additional essential benefit that features a compressor check valve. You see, a compressor is used to produce high-pressure air (which can get quite dangerous when itiling unchecked). The compressed air can become released or stream back into the tank, which may subsequently burst resulting in causing injuries and physical damage. The compressor check valve is vital for preventing this type of disaster by making the compressed air flow in only one direction.

If the compressor check valve is not working correctly, this can cause a variety of air pressure related issues and may prevent your compress from providing compressed air. If the valve is broken, one of the most obvious symptoms would include difficulty in keeping enough pressure by compressor. Before replacing all your parts, remove the valve from the compressor and check it for damage or wear.
