The check valve is an important part of any air compressor. The air compressor check valve can be found on almost any compressor out there. Check valves are used for example on reciprocating piston compressors, rotary screw compressor and scroll compressors. check valves allow the air to flow through in only one direction. With the help of check valves, the compressor can keep certain parts pressurized and other parts de-pressurized.On many compressors there is even more than one check valve. An air compressor check valve has only one function: to let air flow from one side to the other, while blocking air flow in the opposite direction. Check valves also prevent that compressed air that has left the compressor (to the piping / air tank) cannot flow back anymore, back into the compressor. If you hold the check valve in your hand and would blow on it on one side, you have no problem blowing air through it. But, if you turn the check valve around, it is impossible to blow any air through it.
