Industrial compression that air storage tank service life

The service life of industrial compressed air storage tanks is affected by many factors, including the material, manufacturing process, use environment, use status and maintenance of the storage tank. According to relevant national standards, the service life of compressed air storage tanks can generally be divided into the following levels:

class I service life: 3-5 years.

Secondary service life: 8-10 years.

Three service life: 15-20 years.

However, these service lives are for reference only, and actual service lives may vary depending on specific circumstances. In order to extend the service life of compressed air storage tanks, the following measures can be taken:

regular inspection and maintenance: regularly check the air tightness, internal cleanliness and heat preservation effect of the gas tank, replace damaged parts in time, clean up debris in the gas tank, and avoid foreign matter jamming the gas tank discharge port.

Avoid overload operation: overload operation will accelerate the aging and corrosion of the gas tank and reduce the service life. Therefore, it should be adjusted according to the pressure range set by the pressure regulator to avoid overload operation.

Choose the appropriate tank capacity: choose the appropriate tank volume, not too large or too small. If the gas tank is too large, the service life will be shortened; if the gas tank is too small, it will need to run frequently, which will affect the life of the compressor.

In addition, the material selection of the compressed air tank is also very important. Common gas tank materials are iron, steel, stainless steel and so on. Among them, steel gas storage tanks are better than iron gas storage tanks in terms of service life and safety performance, while stainless steel gas storage tanks are suitable for some special environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong corrosive environments.

In general, in order to extend the service life of the compressed air storage tank, the appropriate material and capacity should be selected, overload operation should be avoided, and regular maintenance should be carried out.
