Conclusions
Poppet valve have optimum applications - low pressure ratios (high lifts) - no compressor flow regulation - e.g. Gas Transport For process applications - high pressure ratios (small lifts) - regulated compressors - heavy gases Other valve designs are more favourable not only from the TECHNICAL but ESPECIALLY from the OVERALL COST perspective.
