France Compressor Products

Compressor cylinders not tapped for diagnostic testing No problem! France compressor recently introduced the first Indicator Ported Valve (IPV) for reciprocating air and gas compressors. This patented product is a high performance compressor valve with an indicator port directly through the valve, allowing internal cylinder pressure to be recorded and analyzed The Indicator Ported Valve fits existing compressor valve ports, eliminating expensive cylinder disassembly and machining. Cylinder pressure can be measured via a pressure transducer attached to a Kiene or ball valve. This allows compressor operators to conduct routine diagnostic testing, ultimately enhancing reliability and increasing run time between failures. This new product is available in HI-FLO, poppet, concentric ring, and ported plate valve designs, providing for a large range of applications. Compressor operators with existing France Compressor valves can also convert their existing valves to an Indicator Ported valve - only the valve cover needs to be modified to ensure a proper fit.
