Normally, air compressors are used with air storage tanks, and air storage tanks are essential to the entire set of air compressors. Are there any compressors that do not have air storage tanks? The answer is yes. Generally, these types of air compressors are large-scale air compressors. U-shaped elbow design is used to replace the role of the gas storage tank in the pipeline design. Today, the editor will introduce the role of the gas storage tank.
1. Help the air compressor to stabilize the outlet pressure and play a buffering role;
2. Prevent liquid from being poured into the air compressor when the air compressor is shut down and cause damage;
3. Maintain the stability of the pressure in the air compressor system to reduce fluctuations. This is because the air consumption at the end of the air compressor is generally not always stable, so the air storage tank should be used to balance the pressure of the system.
Thereby reducing the frequent loading and unloading of the air compressor;
4. The air storage tank can cool the dried compressed air again to reduce the moisture in the compressed air.
The above are the basic functions of the gas storage tank. In addition, we must have professionals to install the gas storage tank and select the size of the gas storage tank, because if the operation is improper or the installation is not paid attention to, it is very easy to cause potential safety hazards in the later use. When the air compressor is out of use for a long time, you need to pay attention to closing the air storage tank.
