How to drain the air tank of the air compressor

The steps for draining the air tank of the air compressor are as follows:

before starting or stopping the machine, ensure that the condensate is fully precipitated, so that it will not affect the normal use of the unit and also ensure the drainage effect.

Drainage shall be carried out after the air compressor is shut down, there is no pressure in the oil and gas separation tank, and the condensed water is fully precipitated.

Open the drain valve at the bottom of the gas tank to drain the water. In order to facilitate the discharge of condensed water, most users will install automatic drainers. The automatic drain will handle the closed state without pressure. When the condensed water reaches a certain amount, the drain will automatically open. The water will be discharged under the action of air pressure. At the same time, the buoyancy will decrease and the air bottle will drop to block the drain.

After the drainage is completed, close the drain valve.

In addition, in order to ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of the air compressor, the air tank needs to be cleaned regularly. When cleaning, you can first discharge the water and dirt in the air storage tank, then wipe the inside and outside of the air tank with a soft cloth or rag, and then clean the inside and outside of the air tank with a cleaning agent, and finally fill in new air to use.

It should be noted that the drainage and cleaning of the air compressor tank is very important. If these steps are ignored, it may reduce the service life of the machine and even affect the normal operation of the air compressor. Therefore, it is recommended that users regularly carry out drainage and cleaning work and ensure correct operation.
