Texcentric Compressor Valves




Overview
As part of CAMSERV™'s comprehensive afternarket services, Texcentric™ makes it our business to make your business more profitable. Texcentric™ is a dedicated OEM specializing in quality-engineered valves, unloaders and parts for most brands and types of comercially available air, gas and process/petrochemical compressors.


Improve, Upgrade, Economize
Texcentric Compressor Valve Products can boost the efficiency, reliability and availability of any compressor you're running-from gas transmission giants to compact 1/2 horsepower units. From our large inventory of replacement compressor parts to our in-house engineering and manufacturing capabilities, Texcentric will design a solution to fit your need.


Why retrofit with Texcentric?
Your old compressor may still be running but chances are, the valves inside are costing you power and efficiency. By retrofitting with new Texcentric valve products, even very old compressors can deliver significant operating improvements.

The inefficient design of many older style compressor valves may be costing you money. With Texcentric replacement poppet valves, losses can be reduced to only 4-12%, which translates to a fuel savings of up to 12%. With today's high energy costs, retrofitting can deliver a payback in just 6-18 months.

Improved Reliability and Availability
Texcentric's OEM experience and high-tech engineering center has resulted in valve products that deliver more efficient performance and longer service life than original components. Our computerized valve motions program, for example, helps Texcentric engineers accurately determine the appropriate valve type, material, lift and spring load for each valve application. And Texcentric plug-type unloaders provide the most reliable means of flow control on the market today.
Engineering Expertise
Maybe your application requires a custom solution. With more than 100 years' experience, no other valve manufacturer is more qualified to assist with performance and root cause failure analysis. Our skilled engineering staff can often resolve performance problems with compressor valves that may not require a costly investment in new components. Using computerized tools, we can model and evaluate the current operating conditions and, in many cases, recommend modifications to the existing valve design to maximize efficiency, horsepower and throughput. Compressor analysis is available, as well as additional engineering services including cylinder sizing, compressor piston design and balance studies.

Experience Counts
Solving problems is our specialty. Our valves are currently operating in services from air to H2S and CO2 applications, in compressors ranging from large 10,000 hp gas transmission units to small 1/2 hp machines. You'll even find Texcentric valves handling hydrogen, nitrogen, freon, chlorine and many other gases.

Quality
All of Texcentric's compressor valves and unloaders are designed, manufactured and tested in our Houston, Texas facility. Under a rigorous Six Sigma quality assurance program, the design, material selection, machining and complete testing of every valve and unloader assembly is carefully examined. Then each product undergoes a five-step inspection process before it's ever shipped to you, ensuring every Texcentric component is of the highest quality and will deliver the best performance and value.

Replacement Parts and Engineered Services
As an OEM, Texcentric has the experience and technical resources to solve your problem, whatever the application. Need a part? With our inventory of more than 8,000 items, we offer a full line of quality valve components to fit most major compressor brands, including AjaxR, ArielR, Chicago-PneumaticR, Cooper-BessemerR, ClarkR, Gardner-DenverR, Ingersoll-RandR, JoyR, Knox-WesternR, PennR, SuperiorR and WorthingtonR.

EPV-750 High Efficiency Compressor Valve
The EPV-750 Poppet Valve delivers the highest efficiency of any Texcentric valve design. Compared to conventional plate, channel or strip valves, the EPV-750 offers significant fuel or kilowatt savings through more efficient and reliable operation.

The EPV-750 has been successfully incorporated in compressor designs from all major manufacturers, for operation in a variety of gas transmission, gas production, hydrocarbon processing and industrial air applications.

Where conventional valves may experience losses of 6-20% (as a percentage of total indicated horsepower), the EPV-750 total suction and discharge losses are typically only 4-8%. This translates to significant fuel or kilowatt savings. Plus, with an initial cost of up to 40% less than conventional ported-plate valves, the payback time is typically less than 18 months.

DPV-250 Damped Plate Compressor Valve
The DPV-250 valve is often used as an engineered replacement valve when operators are experiencing continued breakage or failure of the current valve. It is designed to operate reliably in severe compression service applications by utilizing a cushioning action similar to a hydraulic shock absorber, as well as balanced spring design. Inherently rugged construction and design simplicity of the DPV-250 compressor valve provides excellent insurance against costly compressor shutdowns.

The DPV-250 valve provides smooth, reliable operation in applications where wet or dirty gases, or gas across a high differential pressure, is being compressed. These valves are widely used in natural gas production, CO2 transmission and secondary recovery; chemical and petrochemical processing (particularly hydrogen processing); and industrial air service. The DPV-250 valve has been successfully applied in many different compressor designs and for most major compressor manufacturers. The DPV-250 compressor valve can be designed to operate with finger or plug unloaders.

The DPV-250 valve is built to deliver continuous, efficient service where other valves would fail routinely. You save money by keeping your compressor in operation without costly shutdown to replace failed valves.

Unloaders with Metal Bellows
Texcentric unloaders provide operational flexibility in controlling compressor capacity. They can also be used to maintain operating pressures, temperatures, driver horsepower loads and piston rod loads within acceptable limits as operating conditions change. During startup, they can reduce the load on the driver by the compressor cylinder so that available energy can be used to overcome rotational inertia, rather than for compression.

SCV-600 Non-Lube Compressor Valve
The SCV-600 spring cap valve design delivers reliable service in non-lubricated applications. Typically SCV valves are found in chemical processing, petrochemical, petroleum refining, aire separation and process air service. Although it is specifically designed for non-lube service, the SCV-600 performs equally well in lubricated cylinders.

ESV-500 Standard Ring Compressor Valve
The ESV-500 valve uses concentric rings and a balanced independent spring system to offer maximum reliability and efficiency in a wide range of operating environments. Typically ESV valves are found in natural gas production and transmission, CO2 transmission, hydrocarbon and chemical processes, nitrogen and air compression. The ESV-500 can be applied to all sizes and brands of gas compressors.
