Suction Control Valve

Types HDKG160 and HDKO160

Application
For both stepless or two point capacity control of screw compressors, which can be
pressurized with their full discharge pressure at shut - down.
Operation
Straight throughflow valve with butterfly type control disc and swing type non-return
valve.
Operation of the swing type non-return valve
The suction line is closed quickly, automatically, and independently of any other
components of the compressor if the air flow is interrupted or reversed.
Start-up: The control disc of the HDKG is closed (idling
