    Suction and Discharge Valve plates for Bitzer 2 stage semi hermatic recip. comp



    My query is regarding the suction and discharge valve plates used in S6F-30.2 2 stage semi hermetic reciprocating compressors. Is there a recommended lifespan of these valves? Should they be changed after a given amount of time or service hours and if so do you have a recommendation? Or can these valves last indefinitely with proper care and the use of predictive maintenance, thermal imaging and ultrasound in this case? Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

    Bitzer recommended 5 years, Could someone confirm whether this seems appropriate. Also are there any noticeable signs of fatigue before failure?

    You could try an efficiency test?
