NOTE
Discharge recycle valve must be controlled by others
when multiple compressors are connected to a
common header.
If installed, the discharge recycle valve is a motorized or
air actuated valve that recycles discharge gas back to the
suction of the compressor. The valve acts as a regulator,
opening to maintain the set pressure in the discharge
line.
A PID controller adjusts the opening degree of the valve
to maintain a desired pressure on the high pressure side
of the valve. When the recycle control pressure exceeds
the desired pressure plus a deadband, the valve will start
to open to recycle high pressure gas back to suction.
