An apparatus is provided and may include a compression mechanism, a valve plate associated with the compression mechanism and having at least one port in fluid communication with the compression mechanism, and a manifold disposed adjacent to the valve plate. A cylinder may be formed in the manifold and a piston may be disposed within the manifold and may be movable relative to the manifold between a first position separated from the valve plate and a second position engaging the valve plate. A valve element may be disposed within the piston and may be movable relative to the piston and the manifold. The valve element may be movable between an open position spaced apart from the valve plate and permitting flow through the port and into the compression mechanism and a closed position engaging the valve plate and restricting flow through the port and into the compression mechanism.

An apparatus comprising: a compression mechanism;a valve plate associated with said compression mechanism and including at least one port in fluid communication with said compression mechanism;a manifold disposed adjacent to said valve plate;a cylinder formed in said manifold;a piston disposed within said manifold and movable relative to said manifold between a first position separated from said valve plate and a second position contacting said valve plate;a valve element disposed within said piston and movable relative to said piston and said manifold, said valve element movable between an open position spaced apart from said valve plate and permitting flow through said port and into said compression mechanism and a closed position engaging said valve plate and restricting flow through said port and into said compression mechanism. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said piston includes an inner volume having a pressurized fluid disposed therein. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said pressurized fluid imparts a force on said valve element to move said valve element against one end of said piston. 4. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said pressurized fluid is discharge-pressure gas received from said compression mechanism. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a chamber disposed between a top surface of said piston and an inner surface of said cylinder, said chamber selectively receiving a pressurized fluid to move said piston from said first position to said second position. 6.

The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a check valve selectively allowing fluid communication between said solenoid valve and said chamber. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said valve member is responsive to a pressure differential between a vacuum pressure and an intermediate pressure. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said intermediate pressure is fed to a cavity defined by a slave piston seal and a slave piston. 12. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said valve member includes a plurality of slave piston seals at least partially defining a plurality of cavities. 13.

The apparatus of claim 18, further comprising an injection port formed through said piston to place an interior volume of said piston in fluid communication with said seal chamber, said seal chamber supplying said interior volume with said first pressurized fluid via said injection port. 27. The apparatus of claim 26, further comprising a valve element slidably supported within said piston and urged against a first end of said piston by said first pressurized fluid disposed within said interior volume. 28. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein said control mechanism includes a solenoid valve. 29. The apparatus of claim 18, further comprising a check valve selectively allowing fluid communication between said solenoid valve and said piston. 30. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein said valve mechanism includes a cavity at least partially defined by an isolation seal and a slave piston. 31. The apparatus of claim 30, wherein a feed drilling provides fluid communication between said cavity and a system suction pressure port. 32. The apparatus of claim 30, wherein an intermediate pressure is supplied to said cavity to bias said slave piston toward an upward position. 33. The apparatus of claim 32, wherein valve mechanism allows discharge gas to evacuate through a vacuum port to when said slave piston is in said upward position. 34. The apparatus of claim 18, further comprising a chamber disposed within said cylinder between an inner surface of the manifold and an outer surface of said piston, said chamber in fluid communication with said control mechanism. 35. The apparatus of claim 34, wherein said control mechanism selectively supplies said chamber with said second pressurized fluid to move said piston from said first position to said second position. 36. The apparatus of claim 34, wherein said control mechanism selectively vents said chamber to allow said first pressurized fluid disposed within said seal chamber to move said piston from said second position to said first position.
