The role of air compressor storage tank

air compressor gas tank is a pressure vessel manufactured by nine processes of steel plate forming, welding, non-destructive testing (NDE), marking and opening, pickling and drying, assembly, assembly, pressure test, sandblasting and painting.

There are many functions of air compressor gas storage tank, the following small for a long time to explain one by one:

1. The main function is to store a certain amount of compressed air produced by the screw air compressor

this is why many people call the air compressor tank "compressed air tank. On the one hand, the stored compressed air can meet the demand of sudden and instantaneous gas consumption of gas equipment, on the other hand, it can be used for temporary emergency when the air compressor fails or other unexpected events (such as power failure).

2. 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. Reduce the work load of other post-processing equipment downstream of the pipe network, so that all kinds of gas equipment to obtain the required quality of the air source.

Unstable gas consumption of gas equipment will lead to continuous changes in the working load of the air compressor, which will not only affect the working efficiency and service life of the air compressor, but also cause insufficient gas supply and affect production. The gas tank can be used to supplement and adjust the gas supply in time to play a balance and buffer role. Especially in the case of frequent changes in gas load, large capacity gas storage tanks should be selected.

3. Make air compressor more energy efficient

under the set pressure, the air compressor will automatically stop when the air storage tank is full of air, so that the air compressor will not run all the time and waste electric energy.

4. Back the pot to the air compressor

to prevent the compressed air pipeline from returning liquid for some reason during the shutdown of the air compressor, pouring into the air compressor and damaging the equipment, in the current network language, it is a black pot.

5. remove part of the compressed air moisture

compressed air will stay in the air tank of the air compressor for a certain period of time, and the temperature will also decrease (this is also the fundamental reason why it is recommended to install the air tank of the air compressor in a cool place). A large part of the water in the gas water condenses into liquid water and precipitates. Therefore, the air tank should be drained regularly. Manual drainage is more troublesome. It is recommended to purchase an automatic drainer.

Generally speaking, with the air compressor tank, even if there is no freeze dryer, it can send out relatively high quality air.

6. Protection of compressed air after-treatment equipment

remove part of the water, dust and impurities in the compressed air, reduce the workload of the compressed air filter and dryer downstream of the pipe network, and enable all kinds of gas equipment to obtain the required quality of air source.

7. Install air compressor

the air storage tank provided by the small air compressor is also used as the installation base frame for the air compressor body and other accessories (as well as the all-in-one machine where the freeze dryer and the air compressor are installed on the air storage tank together).

A system equipped with two air compressor air storage tanks. The first one has the same function as the above, and the latter one is to cool the compressed air dried by the compressed air dryer to further reduce the moisture in the compressed air. Content.
