How to automatically drain the air storage tank for air compressor

2026-04-10Views:

When the air compressor is in use, when the air humidity is high, there will be more water after the compressed air. If the air is dry in winter, there will be less water. If it is troublesome to put it, it is recommended to install an automatic timing discharge device, and the cost of self-operation should be 300 or 400.

According to the use of air compressor specification requirements, at least once a day in the morning drainage.

In the past, there was no regular water discharge device, and it was always necessary to remember to drain the gas tank regularly. Now the shotgun has been changed, and the automatic drain greatly simplifies manual operation.

granklin's water-lubricated air compressor produces oil-free air, but in the post-treatment we need to filter the water in the gas, and the electronic drain is essential.

It is best to drain water every day, because the moisture in the air during the working process of the air compressor will enter the air storage tank and then go to the dryer. The dryer has an electromagnetic drain that will automatically drain water, while the air storage tank generally has only one ball valve below. If water is not drained, the inside of the air storage tank will corrode and rust, resulting in shortened service life.

The air compressor we use is 100% oil-free, and the gas storage tank can also be made of stainless steel, but too much water will still affect the work.

Therefore, it is better to install a gas-water separator if possible to automatically exclude the water in the gas storage tank.

    Single screw and twin screw air compressor have their own advantages and disadvantages

    Structural aspect: The twin-screw air compressor has few moving parts and simple structure. The rigidity of the male rotor is higher than that of the female rotor, but the male rotor also bears most of the load. The rigid load ratio of the male and female rotors is close, the deformation is uniform, and the volume coefficient is high. The single screw air compressor has three rotating shafts

    General classification of air compressor

    Air compressors are generally classified into the following categories: 1. According to the gas transmission volume, to put it bluntly, the gas transmission volume refers to the volume of the gas discharged from each minute of the air compressor during operation, calculated to be sucked in. The small and medium-sized exhaust volume is less than 10 cubic meters/minute, and the small and medium-sized exhaust volume is 10~100 cubic meters

    Shenzhen Air Compressor Equipment Factory

    Shenzhen Air Compressor Equipment Factory and Shenzhen Screw Air Compressor Factory have a pressure gauge in front of the filter element at the time of ordinary screw air pressure. Shenzhen Air Compressor Equipment Factory stops changing the oil core when the pressure difference between the pressure gauge in front of the filter element and the air supply pressure gauge reaches 0.08MPa. When the oil core is damaged, it will be found that the oil consumption of the air compressor is very serious, and there will be a small amount of oil in the gas storage tank and pipeline in Shenzhen Air Compressor Equipment Factory. In severe cases, discharge the air compressor oil at the discharge time of the air tank drain valve.
