Atlas Inlet Valve 1604031201 for Air Compressors

An Inlet Valve is a critical control device responsible for regulating the flow of a fluid (gas, liquid, or air) into a system, chamber, or vessel. It acts as the primary gateway, precisely managing the admission of media to initiate processes, maintain pressure, control cycles, and ensure efficient operation. Its performance is fundamental to the efficiency, safety, and reliability of the entire system it serves.

• Precise Flow Control: Engineered to provide accurate and responsive opening and closing, allowing for exact metering of intake volume.
• Rapid Response Time: Designed for fast actuation (especially solenoid types), enabling high-cycle operations.
• Leak-Tight Sealing: Features precision-machined seats and high-quality seals to ensure bubble-tight closure.
• Durable Construction: Available in brass, stainless steel, aluminum, or plastics with compatible seals for various media.
• Multiple Actuation Options: Solenoid, pneumatic, hydraulic, manual, or motorized configurations available.
• Compact Design: High flow rates relative to size for easy integration into space-limited systems.

1. Closed State: Valve is normally held closed by spring or pilot pressure.
2. Activation Signal: Receives electrical, pneumatic, or manual input.
3. Opening: Actuator retracts seal from seat.
4. Flow Admission: Inlet port opens, allowing fluid entry.
5. Closing: Seal returns to seat when signal ceases.
