Radial Valves
While valves come in many variations, only ACI has the ultra-efficient radial valve. Fundamentally, radial valves provide significantly more flow area per valve port than single deck designs. Compared with most double-deck designs, radial valves not only provide more flow area, but they incur less added fixed clearance. 
The additional flow areas resulting from the radial valve's innovative design leads to more efficient compression. Lowering your valve-related losses can yield several benefits:
These have poppets that are arranged to seat on a cylindrical surface. Radial suction valves have the poppets seat on the inside of a sleeve, and radial discharge valves have the poppets seat on the outside of a sleeve. The fixed clearance associated with radial valves is comparable to that in double deck valves. These extremely efficient valves manufactured by ACI Services, Inc. are justified in cases where the cylinders have limited valve area available and may result in reducing the energy required to push the gas through the valves by 50% or more.
