Minimum pressure valve has the functions of
opening/closing,pressure maintaining and backstopping,and offers stable and reliable performance.

A Minimum Pressure Valve (MPV) is a pressure-regulating valve that
maintains a minimum pressure in a system, often used in rotary
screw air compressors to ensure proper lubrication and protect the
air-oil separator. At startup, the MPV is closed to allow pressure
to build; once a preset minimum is reached, it opens to allow
airflow while its built-in check valve prevents backflow at
shutdown, ensuring consistent system operation and longevity.
How it Works
Startup: When the compressor starts, the valve is closed, allowing
pressure to build within the air-oil separator.
Opening: As system pressure increases, it overcomes the spring
force in the valve, causing it to open.
Full Flow: At normal operating pressure, the valve opens fully,
allowing the compressor's output to pass through with minimal
pressure loss.
Shutdown: If the system pressure drops below the preset minimum,
the valve closes.
Check Valve Function: A separate, integrated check valve then
closes to prevent air from flowing backward into the compressor
during shutdown.
Key Functions
Oil Lubrication:
The MPV establishes a minimum pressure required for lubricating oil
circulation in the compressor.
Component Protection:
It prevents compressor damage and ensures the air-oil separator
functions correctly by avoiding excessively low pressure.
Smooth Operation:
By maintaining a stable pressure, the MPV prevents issues like
cavitation and contributes to the smooth operation of hydraulic and
air systems.
Symptoms of a Faulty MPV
Low oil pressure or low temperatures.
Odd compressor noises.
System instability or inefficienc

Festo,Smc,Ckd,Burket,Hydac,Rexroth,SMS,RSMT,Marsh ,Endress+Hauser
etc.
Q: Is there a warranty available?
A: Yes, normally products is one year quality guarantee.
Q: Is the connector in British or Metric system? What is the
difference between PT, NPT, and G threads?
A: The G thread is cylindrical and does not seal itself, requiring
additional gaskets to prevent leakage. PT and NPT are conical, and
the internal and external threads become tighter and tighter when
tightened. Sealing is achieved through the deformation of the
threads, and sealant or tape is usually used in conjunction to
enhance the sealing effect
G-thread is a cylindrical straight pipe used for non sealed
connections; PT thread is a conical tube that relies on the
deformation and sealing of the thread itself; NPT is also a conical
tube with a tooth profile angle of 60 degrees, mainly used in North
America
Q: How to convert pressure units: MPa, bar, psi, kg/cm ²?
A: 1MPa=10bar≈145psi≈10kg
Q:What usually causes the burnout of solenoid valve coils?
A:Incorrect voltage and hz, frequent switching, pilot head entering
liquid,valve core and spring problem,environment hot,heavy vibration etc.
Q: What should be noted for pneumatic components in high temperature
or extremely cold environments?
| Focus Point | High Temperature Environment Countermeasures | Extreme Cold Environment Countermeasures |
| Seals | Fluororubber, PTFE | Low-temperature nitrile, silicone rubber, polyurethane |
| Lubrication | High-temperature synthetic grease (low volatility) | Low-temperature grease (low pour point, low viscosity) |
| Air Supply Treatment | Strengthen cooling, efficient water removal | Ultra-low dew point drying (refrigeration + adsorption type), heat
tracing |
| Metal Components | Reserve expansion clearance | Select materials with low-temperature toughness, prevent leakage
due to cold shrinkage |
| Control Components | High heat-resistant grade coils, heat dissipation, low power
consumption | Install insulation boxes, local heating, prevent cold condensation |
| Installation | Keep away from heat sources, add heat insulation plates | Avoid exposure to wind and snow, wrap with thermal insulation
materials |
