These valves prevent surging, a dangerous condition that can damage compressors. In some cases, compressors operate at very low flow rates, which can cause problems like vibration, stress, and even valve failure. This paper highlights: ● The critical role of anti-surge valves in protecting compressors during varying flow and pressure conditions. ● Common issues such as mechanical vibration, stress, and valve failure at low flow rates. ● Innovative solutions like modified control valves and algorithms for better efficiency and safety. With the right adjustments, these valves can help reduce energy waste and protect valuable equipment.
