The role of air tank

The air storage tank is also one of the important parts of the air compressor. Its role in the air compressor system is: buffering, making the air supply more stable, reducing the frequent startup of the air compressor, and letting compressed air in the air storage tank Precipitation, in order to facilitate the dewatering and decontamination of the gas storage tank.

So, what are the basic requirements for the selection of air storage tanks?

1. The volume of the air compressor storage tank should be controlled within the range of 10%-20% of the compressor displacement. We generally choose 15%. When the air volume is large, the volume of the air storage tank is also required. Properly increase, if the on-site gas consumption is small, it can be less than 15%, preferably not less than 10%.

2. The processing capacity of the filter and dryer should be consistent with the discharge capacity of the compressor.

3. The filter before the dryer should be equipped with an automatic drain.

4. When using an adsorption dryer, the compressor should reserve corresponding air consumption.

5. The dryer is installed before the gas storage tank, and the system can provide a larger peak adjustment capacity, which is mostly used in working conditions with large fluctuations in gas consumption. After the dryer is installed in the gas storage tank, the function of the gas storage tank is fully reflected, playing the role of buffering, cooling and sewage, which can reduce the load of the dryer, and is used for the working conditions of the system with more uniform air supply.

The role of the air compressor tank cannot be underestimated. The correct selection can make the air supply of the air compressor more stable, which can greatly improve the production efficiency of the enterprise.
