Dynamics of Poppet Valves

Very sensitive to opening impact due to rather thin and fragile stem. Danger of non-parallel impact and overload on the stem edge

Insensitive to closing impact due to massive poppet head and profiled seat land geometry

Poppets in Applications

Gas Transport (low pressure ratios)


Low opening impacts High lifts Good efficiency Clearance less important

Process Applications (high pressure ratios)

-/+0*.,+0

Danger of high opening impacts Danger of sticktion effects (oil, dirt, sticky constituents, etc) Low lifts Low efficiency Valve clearance problems

Problems associated with Poppet Valves

Pitting due to the opening impact (increases lift further)

Spring wear due to buckling (contact in the middle sections)

-/+0*.,+0

Problems associated with Poppet Valves

Compressor control - reduced flow area due to plug


- increase of valve losses

- additional clearance in the case of a port unloader


- reduction of volume flow

Wear on the seat land Difficulty in re-machining seat ports

Conclusions

Poppet valve have optimum applications - low pressure ratios (high lifts) - no compressor flow regulation - e.g. Gas Transport For process applications - high pressure ratios (small lifts) - regulated compressors - heavy gases Other valve designs are more favourable not only from the TECHNICAL but ESPECIALLY from the OVERALL COST perspective.
