Installation Drawing of One Air Compressor and Two Air Storage Tanks

Question: When installing an air compressor station, there is a situation where there is an air compressor and two or more gas storage tanks. In this case, what should be the correct method for pipeline installation?

Installation drawing I

Installation drawing II

a: Let's compare the two installation drawings with a more intuitive analysis:

the installation method of Figure 1 is that two gas storage tanks are connected in parallel, and the installation method of Figure 2 is that two gas storage tanks are connected in series. The parallel connection is equivalent to the sum of the volumes of the two air storage tanks. This installation form is equivalent to buying a large air storage tank, which can store more compressed air, which can reduce the number of times of loading and unloading of the air compressor, protect the air compressor and increase the service life of the air compressor. However, the connection in series is no different from a gas storage tank, which is completely a waste. Therefore, in the actual installation and operation process, we should choose the correct connection of Figure 1.
