The ICV-85 Inlet Control Valve is a heavy-duty, high-flow valve engineered for large-scale industrial air compressors. Its core function is to serve as the primary control unit for managing air intake into the compressor's compression chamber, responding precisely to system demand.
It operates on a fundamental load/unload principle:
Loaded State: The valve opens fully, allowing a massive volume of atmospheric air to be drawn into the compressor for compression.
Unloaded State: The valve closes with a perfect seal, halting all airflow and enabling the compressor to run in a zero-flow idle state, thereby maximizing energy efficiency.
This precise and reliable cycling is critical for advanced compressor control strategies, ensuring optimal pressure stability and significant reduction in power consumption.
Exceptional High-Flow Design: The ICV-85 features an oversized flow path and porting (denoted by '85'), engineered to support the very high air volumes (CFM) required by large horsepower and central compressor systems, with an absolute minimum pressure drop.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand extreme operating conditions, it utilizes premium materials such as a high-strength aluminum or ductile iron body, a carbide-coated valve seat, and industrial-grade seals resistant to high temperatures and oils.
Superior Sealing & Energy Efficiency: The valve's advanced sealing mechanism ensures a bubble-tight seal in the closed position, virtually eliminating air leakage during unloaded cycles. This directly translates to maximum energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
Ruggedized Actuation System: Designed with a high-force actuation system (typically pneumatic) capable of instant and reliable operation despite the high air pressures and frequent cycling demands of a large industrial plant.
Extended Service Life & Reliability: Every component is selected and engineered for maximum durability and millions of maintenance-free cycles, resulting in unparalleled reliability, reduced downtime, and a lower total cost of ownership.
Designed for Central Systems & High Demand: This valve is the ideal choice for central compressor rooms, large manufacturing facilities, and processes with continuous, high air demand where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.
