Systems, devices, and methods of manufacture are provided for a cylindrical compressor with a standardized shell and core. The compressor including a cylindrical cast metal shell having a shell bore extending longitudinally therethrough and configured to receive a cylindrical cast metal core. The core having a core bore extending longitudinally therethrough defining a core bore diameter within a predefined range of diameters and corresponding to a shell bore diameter. The core having an outer diameter configured to provide an interference fit between the core and the shell when the core is disposed within the shell. The compressor including a plurality of valve assemblies extending through the shell and the core so as to interface a valve of the valve assembly with the core bore and further including cylinder head coupled to the shell, a piston rod assembly configured within the core bore, and a packing case coupled to the core.

As described in detail below, the disclosed embodiments include a rotating compressor valve having stationary front and rear plates (e.g., guards) and a rotating plate configured to rotate relative to the stationary front and rear plates. The stationary front and rear plates and the rotating plate all include a plurality of slots which, when aligned, allow a process fluid (e.g., natural gas) to flow through the rotating compressor valve. In certain embodiments, the slots of the rotating plate include an arc radius that is smaller than an arc radius of the slots of the stationary front and rear plates.
