A discharge valve and baffle assembly is provided in a refrigeration system having either one or more compressors. The discharge valve and baffle assembly eliminates the effects of an established head upon starting the associated compressor, thereby permitting the compressor to quickly come up to speed for the established head. During compressor operation, the discharge valve and baffle assembly provides a suction force for holding the valve in the open position to prevent bouncing of the valve during part-load conditions and cycling of the valve between the open and closed positions during surge conditions. The assembly prevents backflow of refrigerant through the nonoperating compressor, and also provides a baffle effect to direct the flow of high pressure gaseous refrigerant uniformly into the condenser.
