The role of air compressor storage tank

Many people are familiar with air compressors, but it is not clear why a jar is used for what it is. The gas tank, as the name suggests, is a tank used to store gas. But its role is not only to store gas, the following is to popularize the four major functions of gas storage tanks.

1. Water and oil removal function

the compressed air is stored in the air tank, which can precipitate the moisture and oil contained in the compressed air, so as to achieve the effect of removing water and oil and improve the quality of compressed air.

2. Energy saving effect

due to the frequent start and stop of the air compressor, the flow becomes very large, so that the state of the air compressor will become no load. If this state continues for a long time, a lot of traffic will be wasted. However, if the configuration of the air storage tank, can guarantee the automatic shutdown of the air compressor, under the set pressure tank a dozen full air compressor will automatically stop, can reduce the unnecessary idle energy waste, that is, we often say no-load.

3. Cooling filtration

the compressed air has a higher temperature. After entering the air tank, the temperature will be reduced to achieve the initial cooling of the compressed air.

4. Provide a stable gas source, play a buffering role

the gas tank can ensure that the gas is kept within a certain pressure setting range, so that the gas consumption at the back end is constant.

In addition, many people are not too clear about whether the gas tank needs annual inspection. Here, I would like to explain to you that it belongs to a pressure vessel and needs to be filed by the local quality supervision bureau. There are two types of pressure vessels. Those with a volume of less than 1 cubic meter are exempt from annual inspection. Annual inspection is required for more than 1 cubic meter. Do you understand?
