Abstract

See full text

An electronically controlled gas compressor inlet valve includes a housing mounted on the compressor in fluid communication with an inlet of the compressor. A piston member is moveable linearly within the housing along a path of travel, into and out of occluding relation with the compressor inlet. A linear positioning device is connected to the piston member. The linear positioning device positions the piston member linearly, in a predetermined location, along the path of travel. A vent maintains a predetermined atmospheric pressure across the piston member. A sensor determines compressor inlet pressure, and generates a signal in response to a predetermined inlet pressure. A controller is operatively connected to the stepper motor for controlling actuation of the stepper motor in response to the signal generated by the sensor.
