HPV – Ring Valve (for high pressure / single ring)
For use under difficult conditions
Superior efficiency and temperatureresistance for small-diameter valves
The HOERBIGER HPV, High-pressure Profiled Ring Valve, is especially designed for use under difficult conditions. Whether high pressure hydrogen, noble gases, bio-gas, CNG, hydrocarbons – the HPV valve covers most requirements of the chemical, pharmaceuticals and electronics industries and of renewable energy providers.
The wide range of applications includes reciprocating as well as diaphragm compressors. The HPV valve is the best choice for compressors with high-pressure ratios, high discharge temperatures and non-lube operation.
HOERBIGER HPV valve is characterized by low clearance volume and enables economical compressor design.

HPV valves support maximum pressures and difficult conditions
The profiled valve ring made from high-strength, high-temperature-carbon-filled PEEK stands out thanks to its extreme temperature and excellent impact resistance.
The HPV valve is specially designed to cope with medium and high pressures in confined mounting spaces.
