SECTION 10
INLET CONTROL VALVE
INLET CONTROL VALVE
– This device is located at the intake flange of the compressor. During
compressor stoppage, planned or accidental (e.g., power failure), it blocks off the compressor intake and
allows it to remain pressurized and ready for quick re-start. A spring-loaded check feature is provided as
added insurance against air or oil backflow.
During compressor operation, the underside of the poppet is vented to atmosphere via a 3-way solenoid
valve, allowing the poppet to fall (open) and feed fresh air to the compressor inlet
– the spring loaded
check feature is pushed open by a very small pressure differential resulting from the incoming air stream.
During stopped operation modes (e.g., commanded from keypad or initiated by protective shutdown), the
3-way solenoid valve feeds an air signal to the underside of the poppet, forcing it upward (closed),
compressing the spring loaded check feature and blocking-off the compressor intake.
Refer to Part List 13-18-505 for spare parts.
