ABSTRACT:
A valve for reciprocating compressors generally comprising a seat member, a movable plate member, a flat spring plate, and a guard which are assembled as a unitary structure. The seat member and the plate member have linear fluid passage ports which are offset relative to each other. When the valve is in its normal sealing position, the plate member is pressed by linear spring fingers formed on the spring plate against the seat member causing the surface area of the plate member to block the linear fluid passage ports of the seat member. The plate member also has projections extending in a linear or circular direction to receive the spring fingers. When the pressure in the reciprocating compressor becomes sufficiently great, the plate member moves backwards against the spring plate allowing the fluid to move through the valve, including the linear fluid flow passages of both the seat member and plate member.
