INTAKE VALVE

RH30 - RH38 - RH60

APPLICATION: Installed at the compressor inlet to control compressor capacity. At the start-up the valve stays open till a control signal is ap-
plied to close the valve and restrict the flow. During normal operation the valve open and close in response to a control signal to meet the air demand.
At the shut-down a check valve stays closed to prevent back flow through the compressor. The valve can be ordered in the non-return working system.

INSTALLATION: At the suction flange of the air-end, either directly or by flange adaptor, depending on the type of air-end. The ON/OFF system
must be connect to the signal pressure and solenoid valve.

REPLACEMENT: The stress on valve parts depends on compressor application and operating parameters. Inspect the valve and replace, using
VMC spare part kit, after 8.000 operating hours.
