Gas flow in the VIP™ cylinder is direct and simple. As the discharge valves move toward the outer end, the frame end suction valve opens, allowing incoming gas to flow into the void created by the movement of the discharge valve. At the other end, the discharge valve opens as the gas is compressed against the outer end suction valve. The VIP compressor is a double-acting cylinder, so the process is reversed. No longer is there a tortuous path for gas flow through the compressor, just simple straightforward gas flow which increases efficiency.
