Stafford, Texas – July 23, 2008: Compressor Products International (CPI) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Navitas (U.K.) Ltd., a business located in Berkshire, U.K., which developed the Valvealert™ condition monitoring systems.
The Valvealert™ product is a condition monitoring tool which analyzes the operation of compressor valves over a period of time. This equipment allows service engineers to reduce down time of machines by detecting and pinpointing operational problems before they impact operating performance. In addition, Compressor OEM’s have used this product within testing and quality routines of new machines.
Valvealert™ is a non-intrusive method for monitoring and trending the mechanical condition of reciprocating compressor valves. Valvealert™ can be used on all types of compressors from small air compressors to 3000 bar L.D.P.E. compressors and oxygen machines.
The product encompasses both off-line and on-line monitoring hardware. This hardware interfaces with the Valvealert™ software that provides automatic analysis and report generation through a simple graphical user interface. The system will also trigger alerts to compressor operators notifying them of potential valve issues.
The Valvealert™ system is a patented product that provides a flexible infrastructure to integrate compressor monitoring and allows for the automatic assessment and control of compressor valves.
