Abstract:
Compressor valves for aircraft are described herein. An example valve for a compressor includes a first end plate, a second end plate, and a first sleeve valve disposed between the first and second end plates. The first the first sleeve valve is operable between a closed state and an open state. The example valve also includes a second sleeve valve disposed between the first and second end plates and within the first sleeve valve such that a plenum is formed between the first end plate, the second end plate, the first sleeve valve, and the second sleeve valve. The plenum is to receive outlet air from an outlet of the compressor. A passageway is formed through a center of the valve to be fluidly coupled to an inlet of the compressor. The second sleeve valve is operable between a closed state and an open state.
