Unloader/Check Valves

A compressor running in a "start-stop" mode operates more efficiently if the pressure trapped in the compressor head and discharge line is released after each pump-up cycle. This allows smoother starts and the use of a motor with lower starting torque.

The most convenient way to release this trapped pressure is to use Load Genie® combination check and unloader valve. Simply install this unique valve in the compressor discharge line, and the Load Genie® does the rest!

The Load Genie® senses air flow when the compressor is running and closes an unloading orifice port. When airflow stops (such as when the pressure switch turns off the motor), the Load Genie® opens the unloading orifice to release head pressure, and a built-in check valve keeps receiver air from leaking back into the discharge line and compressor head.
