COMPRESSOR VALVES

Cook Compression is an innovator in the

design, manufacture and application of

a complete selection of compressor

valves. From precision-crafted metal

plate valves to the latest, high-per-

formance designs with non-metallic

internals, we offer solutions for any

reciprocating compressor in any

type of service. Cook Compression

manufactures complete valve

assemblies, as well as plates, discs,

rings, buttons, poppets, damper

plates, spring plates, leaf springs and

other metallic and non-metallic compo-

nents for any make or model valve.

Heritage of InnovationFrom the creation of the original radiused-

disc Manley® valve, Cook has pioneered

developments in designs and materials

that yield meaningful improvements in

run-times.The tradition continues with

the extreme reliability

of patented MOPPET®

valves and the enhanced sealing charac-

teristics of groundbreaking E2 elastomer-

enhanced valve components.

Manufacturing ExcellenceCook manufacturing facilities use the

most advanced automated equipment,

such as state-of-the-art CNC lathes, mills

and laser metal cutting systems.We also

perform in-house injection molding of

thermoplastic components.To assure the

purity and performance of finished parts,

we use only 100% virgin material (no re-

grind) of the highest quality base resins.

Elite EngineeringCook Compression provides extensive

technical support with in-house engi-

neering teams, backed by state-of-

the-art CAD, FEA, valve dynamics

software and other proprietary

engineering tools. In addition to

custom-engineering the products

we make, Cook Compression

will provide engineering services

for valve analysis, upgrades and

conversions.

CAPACITY CONTROLS

To improve compression efficiency, reduce

power consumption and prolong driver

life, Cook Compression provides custom-

engineered plug unloaders,

finger unloaders and

clearance pockets in a

variety of configurations.

Most compressors

can be retrofitted

in the field and

manual unloaders

can be converted to

pneumatic actuation.

Cost-Saving AlternativesCapacity control solutions from Cook

Compression are a viable alternative to

cylinder modification or replacement,

allowing more efficient operation over a

wider range of conditions without the

expense of new equipment.

n Custom engineered

n Improves operating flexibility

n Field-retrofit assistance

n Conversion from manual to pneumatic actuation

For improved safety, stronger valve reten-

tion, reduced fugitive emissions and more

reliable sealing, Cook Compression makes

both conventional-style and HSR high-

security valve restraints. All designs provide

stronger retention with less maintenance

than ordinary jack-bolt restraints.

Secure SolutionsThe HSR design distributes load over

multiple studs to reduce typical installa-

tion torque requirements by 50% or more.

This allows easy, accurate loading of the

VALVE RESTRAINING SYSTEMS

cage and valve. Equipped with O-ring

seals, it also effectively controls fugitive

emissions.

n Conventional styles, as well ascustom-engineered HSR designs

n Easy, economical field retrofits for most compressors

n Optional configurations for flexibility and economy

n Available with pneumatic unloader assemblies

ROD RINGS

Our segmental designs allow you to per-

form incremental repairs, replacing only

the worn section of the piston.To assure

that the piston design meets or exceeds

maximum load requirements, each new

design is meticulously evaluated using

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software

and years of practical experience.

Premium Piston RodsBeginning with the highest-quality

mill-certified materials, Cook engineers

and manufactures compressor rods

that perform reliably and

deliver lasting value.

Subject to application

requirements, rods are

induction-hardened or

tungsten-carbide coated

to resist wear and extend
