PEEK HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASTICS MATERIAL 
IN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR
Reciprocating compressors play a major role in the chemical, petrochemical, gas 
and general industry processes. Therefore the focus by many users over the past 
several years has been increased production profits realized through increased 
availability and decreased maintenance and lost production areas that affect 
compressor reliability the most. This figure is a result of surveys taken at many 
different customers to identify and evaluate the factors that contribute to 
unscheduled shutdown of reciprocating compressors. 
Data Surveys: Factors Contribute to Unscheduled Shutdown of Reciprocating Compressors 
as illustrated causes of unscheduled 
compressors shutdowns : 
compressor valves 
packing 
piston rings 
rider bands 
and cylinder unloaders were identified 
to be two of the top six causes of 
unscheduled reciprocating compressor 
shutdowns. 
Sources : S. Foreman (Dresser-Rand USA)
There are other factors that affect the performance of compressor valves : 
There must be a sufficient number of valves installed in a compressor cylinder to effectively allow gas flow into and out of the cylinder efficiently. 
Valve materials must be properly selected to be compatible with the constituents in the gas stream. This is especially important when corrosives are present. 
Valves in lubricated cylinders are subject to sticktion, an adhesion of the valve elements to the seat and guard, which might delay the opening or closing of the element which can be detrimental to performance and valve reliability. 
Dirt and debris can prevent the valve from properly functioning. 
Pulsations in the inlet and discharge gas piping can alter the timing of the valve motion and decrease efficiency and reliability

Common Causes of Valve Failures 
High impact velocity on the guard 
During each compression cycle, the moving elements impact against the guard. Tests have shown that as the impact velocity increases, the number of cycles to failure will decrease. Experience has shown that the allowable impact velocity for non metallic elements is generally twice the allowable impact velocity of non metallic elements. 
The impact velocity is determined by the application. High compressor speeds, high operating pressures, and higher lifts tend to cause higher impacts. 
High impact velocity on the seat 
Like impacts on the guard, the moving element also impacts on the seat during each compression cycle. Again, the critical velocity is determined by the material, and plastic elements can withstand nearly double the impact of metallic elements. 
Sticktionis another factor that can contribute to late valve element closing. Sticktionoccurs when a thin film of oil causes the moving element to stick to the seat or guard. If seat sticktionis excessive, the pressure force opening the moving elements will build, and will cause excessive impact velocities against the guard when the valve opens. Seat impact failures are characterized by chipping on the outsides edge of plastic elements, and cracks that begin on the outside edge of metal elements.

Between the moving element and the spring. 
Between the bottom of the spring and the bottom ofthe spring pocket. 
Between the side of the spring and the side of the spring pocket.

Valve materials 
Seats and guards are generally made from the same material. The selection of this material is important because the seats and outer rim of the suction valve guard are subjected to stresses. These stresses vary with the cylinder pressure throughout the compression cycle. 
The seat is primarily susceptible to wear from the moving elements contacting the sealing surface. The guard is susceptible to wear from the springs cycling in the spring pockets. The material selected must be hard enough to combat this wear. 
Moving Element Materials 
The moving elements are subject to corrosives and high stress levels, but are also subject to high impacts against the guard when they open, and against the seat when they close. Therefore, material selection is very important to the success of the valve. This is where the most significant improvements affecting valve reliability have been made over the last decade. 
Early valve designs used metallic plates which are inexpensive, able to withstand high differential pressures, and are not affected by high temperatures. However, these desirable properties are outweighed by the disadvantages of metallic elements. They are prone to impact fatigue, susceptible to corrosion damage and very unforgiving of dirt and debris.
The moving elementmaybe a ring, a plate, a poppet, or a channel. In any case, the primary failure modes are impact fatigue caused by the repeated impact on the guard and seat, fatigue caused by varying differential pressure resisted by the element, and corrosion. Simple wear is ussuallynot a problem. Today, ring, plate and poppetsare made of engineering plastics if the differential pressure is less than about 2000 psi. If top quality Polyetheretherketone(PEEK) base material are used, and if the valves are designed and applied correctly, life of these part should meet the three year requirement.
Typical application conditions : 
Poor gas quality often result in reduced valve reliability. Dirt and debris in the gas 
will cause accelerated wear, and cause poor sealing between the moving element 
and the seat. In the extreme condition, the flow holes in the seat and guard can 
become blocked and choke off the flow of gas through the valve. 
Process Poppet Valves 
The poppet material part are made from the highest quality Virgin PEEK with no 
regrind allowed. The poppet also provides all of the advantages of a plastic 
moving element, including excellent resistance to corrosives, the ability to 
withstand higher impact velocities, and increased resistance to dirt and liquids
Plastic material offer several advantages over metallic elements : 
•They are able to withstand higher impact velocities than metal plates. This allows them to be applied at higher lifts and speeds, and makes them more tolerant of liquids that are often present in the gas. 
•They are resistant to most corrosive elements commonly found in process gas streams. 
•As a plastic element cycles in the valve, it will form to the contours of the seat and provide a better seal. 
•Plastics can be easily applied in non lubricate machines because they can operate against metallic parts without causing excessive wear. 
•Plastic elements help reduce wear on the seat, so seats do not have to be reconditioned or replaced as frequently. 
•Small pieces of dirt or metal can embed in a plastic element without causing a failure 
•A plastic element that breaks and falls into the cylinder is less likely to do damage to other components such as the cylinder liner, piston rings, and rider bands.
PEEK offers several advantages VS metal valve plates 
PEEK (Poly Ether EtherKetone) is an engineered non metallic material with superior strength, toughness, and high temperature capability. While metal valve plates will continue to be available, PEEK offers some decidedly superior features in most applications. 
Self Lubricating 
The PEEK valve plate virtually eliminates metal to metal wear. This, and the self lubricating quality of PEEK help extend valve life. 
Lighter Weight 
A PEEK valve plate doesn’t impact the valve’s seat and bumper nearly as hard as a heavier weight metal plate. Seat, bumper, and spring life are all extended. 
Self Sealing 
Almost all gas streams contain small solid particles that can become lodged between the valve plate and seat. Metal valve plates will loose their sealing ability under these conditions resulting in a loss of compression efficiency and extra temperature build up. PEEK will maintain its seal and provide maximum compressor performance under less than ideal conditions.
Less Destructive 
Metal bits and pieces from a broken valve that fall into the cylinder can wreck havoc with a compressor requiring very expensive repairs. PEEK valve plates are much less likely to break, but if they do the resultant damage will also be much less 
Less Expensive Valve Repair 
Typically, repairing a worn valve involves remachiningthe seat and replacing the plate and spring. Repairing a valve with PEEK plates will normally require only the replacement of the plate and springs. 
Corrosion Resistant 
PEEK is resistant to almost all gasses, a variety of metal plate materials would be needed to match the corrosion resistant range provided by PEEK. 
Shatter Resistant 
Foreign material in the valve or high impact forces can cause a brittle metal plate to shatter or break. PEEK has enough ‘forgiveness” to virtually eliminate this problem

Peek high performance thermoplastics material for compressor valve plate

  • 1. PEEK HIGH PERFORMANCE PLASTICS MATERIAL IN RECIPROCATING COMPRESSOR
  • 2. Reciprocating compressors play a major role in the chemical, petrochemical, gas and general industry processes. Therefore the focus by many users over the past several years has been increased production profits realized through increased availability and decreased maintenance and lost production areas that affect compressor reliability the most. This figure is a result of surveys taken at many different customers to identify and evaluate the factors that contribute to unscheduled shutdown of reciprocating compressors. Data Surveys: Factors Contribute to Unscheduled Shutdown of Reciprocating Compressors as illustrated causes of unscheduled compressors shutdowns : compressor valves packing piston rings rider bands and cylinder unloaders were identified to be two of the top six causes of unscheduled reciprocating compressor shutdowns. Sources : S. Foreman (Dresser-Rand USA)
  • 3. There are other factors that affect the performance of compressor valves : There must be a sufficient number of valves installed in a compressor cylinder to effectively allow gas flow into and out of the cylinder efficiently. Valve materials must be properly selected to be compatible with the constituents in the gas stream. This is especially important when corrosives are present. Valves in lubricated cylinders are subject to sticktion, an adhesion of the valve elements to the seat and guard, which might delay the opening or closing of the element which can be detrimental to performance and valve reliability. Dirt and debris can prevent the valve from properly functioning. Pulsations in the inlet and discharge gas piping can alter the timing of the valve motion and decrease efficiency and reliability

  • 5. Common Causes of Valve Failures High impact velocity on the guard During each compression cycle, the moving elements impact against the guard. Tests have shown that as the impact velocity increases, the number of cycles to failure will decrease. Experience has shown that the allowable impact velocity for non metallic elements is generally twice the allowable impact velocity of non metallic elements. The impact velocity is determined by the application. High compressor speeds, high operating pressures, and higher lifts tend to cause higher impacts. High impact velocity on the seat Like impacts on the guard, the moving element also impacts on the seat during each compression cycle. Again, the critical velocity is determined by the material, and plastic elements can withstand nearly double the impact of metallic elements. Sticktionis another factor that can contribute to late valve element closing. Sticktionoccurs when a thin film of oil causes the moving element to stick to the seat or guard. If seat sticktionis excessive, the pressure force opening the moving elements will build, and will cause excessive impact velocities against the guard when the valve opens. Seat impact failures are characterized by chipping on the outsides edge of plastic elements, and cracks that begin on the outside edge of metal elements.

  • 7. Valve materials Seats and guards are generally made from the same material. The selection of this material is important because the seats and outer rim of the suction valve guard are subjected to stresses. These stresses vary with the cylinder pressure throughout the compression cycle. The seat is primarily susceptible to wear from the moving elements contacting the sealing surface. The guard is susceptible to wear from the springs cycling in the spring pockets. The material selected must be hard enough to combat this wear. Moving Element Materials The moving elements are subject to corrosives and high stress levels, but are also subject to high impacts against the guard when they open, and against the seat when they close. Therefore, material selection is very important to the success of the valve. This is where the most significant improvements affecting valve reliability have been made over the last decade. Early valve designs used metallic plates which are inexpensive, able to withstand high differential pressures, and are not affected by high temperatures. However, these desirable properties are outweighed by the disadvantages of metallic elements. They are prone to impact fatigue, susceptible to corrosion damage and very unforgiving of dirt and debris.
  • 8. The moving elementmaybe a ring, a plate, a poppet, or a channel. In any case, the primary failure modes are impact fatigue caused by the repeated impact on the guard and seat, fatigue caused by varying differential pressure resisted by the element, and corrosion. Simple wear is ussuallynot a problem. Today, ring, plate and poppetsare made of engineering plastics if the differential pressure is less than about 2000 psi. If top quality Polyetheretherketone(PEEK) base material are used, and if the valves are designed and applied correctly, life of these part should meet the three year requirement.
  • 9. Typical application conditions : Poor gas quality often result in reduced valve reliability. Dirt and debris in the gas will cause accelerated wear, and cause poor sealing between the moving element and the seat. In the extreme condition, the flow holes in the seat and guard can become blocked and choke off the flow of gas through the valve. Process Poppet Valves The poppet material part are made from the highest quality Virgin PEEK with no regrind allowed. The poppet also provides all of the advantages of a plastic moving element, including excellent resistance to corrosives, the ability to withstand higher impact velocities, and increased resistance to dirt and liquids
  • 10. Plastic material offer several advantages over metallic elements : •They are able to withstand higher impact velocities than metal plates. This allows them to be applied at higher lifts and speeds, and makes them more tolerant of liquids that are often present in the gas. •They are resistant to most corrosive elements commonly found in process gas streams. •As a plastic element cycles in the valve, it will form to the contours of the seat and provide a better seal. •Plastics can be easily applied in non lubricate machines because they can operate against metallic parts without causing excessive wear. •Plastic elements help reduce wear on the seat, so seats do not have to be reconditioned or replaced as frequently. •Small pieces of dirt or metal can embed in a plastic element without causing a failure •A plastic element that breaks and falls into the cylinder is less likely to do damage to other components such as the cylinder liner, piston rings, and rider bands.
  • 11. PEEK offers several advantages VS metal valve plates PEEK (Poly Ether EtherKetone) is an engineered non metallic material with superior strength, toughness, and high temperature capability. While metal valve plates will continue to be available, PEEK offers some decidedly superior features in most applications. Self Lubricating The PEEK valve plate virtually eliminates metal to metal wear. This, and the self lubricating quality of PEEK help extend valve life. Lighter Weight A PEEK valve plate doesn’t impact the valve’s seat and bumper nearly as hard as a heavier weight metal plate. Seat, bumper, and spring life are all extended. Self Sealing Almost all gas streams contain small solid particles that can become lodged between the valve plate and seat. Metal valve plates will loose their sealing ability under these conditions resulting in a loss of compression efficiency and extra temperature build up. PEEK will maintain its seal and provide maximum compressor performance under less than ideal conditions.
  • 12. Less Destructive Metal bits and pieces from a broken valve that fall into the cylinder can wreck havoc with a compressor requiring very expensive repairs. PEEK valve plates are much less likely to break, but if they do the resultant damage will also be much less Less Expensive Valve Repair Typically, repairing a worn valve involves remachiningthe seat and replacing the plate and spring. Repairing a valve with PEEK plates will normally require only the replacement of the plate and springs. Corrosion Resistant PEEK is resistant to almost all gasses, a variety of metal plate materials would be needed to match the corrosion resistant range provided by PEEK. Shatter Resistant Foreign material in the valve or high impact forces can cause a brittle metal plate to shatter or break. PEEK has enough ‘forgiveness” to virtually eliminate this problem
