Q: Is the air tank of the air compressor a pressure vessel?

A: Yes.

Air compressor storage tank belongs to the pressure vessel in special equipment. Its main function is to store the compressed air of the air compressor. When the equipment needs compressed gas, the air storage tank releases compressed gas, so that the air compressor does not need to run all the time.

Because the long-term operation loss of the air compressor is very large, and the energy consumption will remain high, the air storage tank can store the compressed air, which can reduce the energy consumption and the wear of the compressor, and can also make the gas output more stable.
