Dresser-Rand poppet valves have been used in gas transmission applications for over 40 years.
In recent years, poppet valves have been successfully integrated into process applications. When compared to the plate valves, Dresser-Rand poppet valves offer larger flow holes and streamlined gas flow to reduce entrapment of debris and impurities, resulting in improved compressor reliability.
