Improving the Resource Characteristics of Operated Self-Acting Valves of High-Speed Compressors

In the presented work, the possibility of increasing the integral characteristics of compressors in operation without replacing valves by installing elastomeric elements in the valves is considered. It is shown that when the feed coefficient drops to a value of 0.8 during operation, its value can be increased to 0.9. In this case, the resource of the upgraded valve in some cases may be equal to the resource of the new metal valve, that is, it is possible to double the resource
