VALVE-IN-BARREL CYLINDER
Modern Replacement
for Existing Valve-in-Head Cylinders
The Valve-in-Head Cylinder Design with a three Piece Cylinder Body
was a common cylinder design practice of many Compressor OEMs.
The Problem:
- Increased maintenance time to access piston because of the large
size, quantity, and location of threaded fasteners.
- SAFETY HAZARD - Gasket material discontinuation has made it difficult
to design a reliable, leak free gasket that prevents leakage 100%
of the time.
- Difficulty achieving proper gasket crush and proper torque with
some bolts only accessible through valve openings resulting in gas
or water leakage.
The Solution: ACI’s VALVE-IN-BARREL CYLINDER
Valve-in-Barrel cylinder design improves reliability and safety
- Gasket elimination reduces possible gas and coolant leaks thus increasing safety
- Fewer and more accessible fasteners reduce maintenance, labor, downtime, and frustration
- Higher MAWP ratings are possible
Designed to utilize existing components
- Reduces the overall cylinder cost by reusing most existing cylinder components
- Preserves value of existing spares inventory
Designed to be a bolt-in replacement.
- Minimizes replacement cost by using existing bottles, pipe connections and mounting locations
- Minimizes installation downtime
