CP / CPs Compressor Valves

As part of Ariel Corporation’s goal to provide the best performance possible for owners and operators of Ariel compression equipment, our standard valve product for new compressors will be CP and CPs valves. CP and CPs valves were introduced several years ago in a number of our cylinders, and they demonstrated a significant increase in reliability, leading to extended service life as compared to valves with traditional design. The CP and CPs design implements new plate and seat port geometry along with a profiled sealing surface resulting in improved operating efficiency at a lower plate lift.

Ariel has been evaluating CP and CPs valves since 2012; our engineers have observed an installed base of nearly 10,000 CP and CPs valves. The demonstrated reliability and operating efficiency of these valves provided owners and operators of Ariel compressors a new level of profitability. Many Ariel Distributors, contract compression companies, and owners/operators are already experiencing the benefits of this product through new compressor cylinders and product retrofits.

The CP / CPs Compressor Valve Reference Guide provides a list of cylinders for which these valve products are now standard. Ariel will revise this guide as additional cylinders are equipped with CP and CPs valves. Contact your Ariel Regional Team member or Ariel Application Engineering for more information about the CP and CPs product.
