The role of air compressor storage tank

the role of air compressor storage tank

1. Store air to meet the demand of sudden and instantaneous gas consumption increase of gas equipment;

2. Store air and eliminate the pulsation of air flow in the pipeline.

3, the initial cooling air, let a part of the liquid water precipitation. Therefore, the gas tank shall be drained regularly;

4. It can ensure the automatic shutdown of the air compressor. Under the set pressure, the air compressor will automatically shut down as soon as the air storage tank is filled with air, so as not to waste electric energy by running the air compressor all the time.

The role of gas storage tank extension

in theory, the larger the gas tank, the better, which can reduce the number of frequent startup of the air compressor. Star-delta start is a power frequency start. The instantaneous current of the motor start is about 7 times of the rated current. Frequent start-up will cause greater damage to the electrical part of the air compressor, which will reduce the life of the electrical part and have a greater impact on the power grid. Large, affecting the normal use of other electrical equipment. Variable frequency air compressor is a soft start, the starting current is about 2 times the rated current, the impact is not very big.

Question: Can the air tank of the screw air compressor not be used?

Enthusiastic netizen 1: The air storage tank at the outlet of the air compressor can not only stabilize the outlet pressure and buffer, but also play an important role that ordinary users will not notice, that is, to prevent the compressed air pipeline from returning liquid for some reason and pouring into the air compressor due to damage during the shutdown of the air compressor. If the gas tank is removed, the inverted U-bend design should be used to play the same role in the pipeline design. I don't know if I'm right, please advise.

Enthusiastic netizens 2: The role of the air storage tank is to maintain the pipe network pressure of the compressed air system without large fluctuations. Since the air consumption at the end of the compressed air system is generally not always stable, it is necessary to use the air storage tank to balance the system pressure and reduce the frequent loading and unloading of the air compressor. Another function is to cool the dried compressed air again to reduce the moisture content in the compressed air.

For individual compressed air systems, such as the displacement of the air compressor is very large (such as centrifugal air compressor), the volume of the system pipe network is also relatively large (the pipe diameter is large and long) and the gas consumption is relatively stable, it can also be equipped with a gas storage tank. But the general compressed air system needs to be equipped with air storage tank.

Enthusiastic Netizen 3: There is no place to store compressed air inside the air compressor. Once compressed air is generated, it must be used. This working method is not ideal. With an air storage tank, compressed air can be first pushed into the air storage tank to a certain pressure, then the air pressure can be reduced to a certain level, and the compressor can be started again, which is more ideal in terms of energy utilization and compressed air quality. So no gas tank is not possible.

Enthusiastic Netizen 4: For equipment that requires a small amount of compressed air and is not used frequently, the air compressor does not need an air storage tank. But taking into account the stability of the performance of the air compressor, compressed air pressure constant and quality, the best with the tank.

1. Air compressor action

since the range of action of the air compressor is relatively large, frequent opening and stopping of the pressure vessel during work will increase the wear of the valve, and on the other hand, it will also make the oil circuit unstable, which will cause the instability of the machine. However, if the gas tank is configured, this situation will be relatively reduced.

2. Energy saving effect

the frequent start and stop of the air compressor, so the current consumption of the motor will be very large, so the state of using the air compressor will be no load, if this state stays very long, it will waste a lot of traffic. However, if the air system is equipped with an air storage tank, the stability of the air compressor will stop, which can ensure that the work is very stable and reduce unnecessary waste of idling energy.

3. Provide a stable gas source

if there is a gas tank in the air compressor system, the air compressor output air has a buffer place, the air source can be better maintained at a set value, and the gas system can get a constant pressure, which is very necessary for the use of modern factories.

4, the air quality is good

the compressed air from the air compressor is first sent to the air storage tank. The air in the air will stay for a certain period of time, which can precipitate impurities and moisture in the air. The temperature of the compressed air is also reduced. Even if there is no freeze dryer, it can also Send out relatively high-quality air.

In fact, the role of savings is a reservoir, the air compressor is a gas source, and the gas tank is a pool. The air storage tank can set the air pressure within a certain pressure range according to the setting, buffer the fluctuation of air pressure, reduce the starting times of the air compressor, and the air storage tank can also play the function of depositing foreign matter such as impurities and moisture in the air.
