If someone asks you about the role of the air compressor tank, do you always feel that it is difficult to express in words, or that you can only understand it and cannot explain it. How can it be! That's because we generally only know one thing and don't know the other. There are many functions of gas storage tanks!

First to introduce the basic common sense role:Store air to meet the demand of sudden and instantaneous increase in air consumption of gas equipment; eliminate the pulsation of air flow in the pipeline; initially cool the air to allow a part of liquid water to separate out. Therefore, the air storage tank should be drained regularly. It can ensure the automatic shutdown of the air compressor. Under the set pressure, the air compressor will automatically stop when the air storage tank is full of air, so that the air compressor will not run all the time and waste electric energy.

In theory, the larger the gas tank, the better, which can reduce the number of frequent startup of the air compressor. Star-delta start is a power frequency start. The instantaneous current of the motor start is about 7 times of the rated current. Frequent start-up will cause greater damage to the electrical part of the air compressor, which will reduce the life of the electrical part and have a greater impact on the power grid. Large, affecting the normal use of other electrical equipment. Variable frequency air compressor is a soft start, the starting current is about 2 times the rated current, the impact is not very big.

Can I not use the air tank of the screw air compressor?Air compressor outlet tank can not only play a stable outlet pressure, buffer, etc., at the same time, there is an important role of the general user will not notice, that is, to prevent the air compressor shutdown, compressed air pipe for some reason to return to the liquid, back into the air compressor, because of its damage. If the gas tank is removed, the inverted U-bend design should be used to play the same role in the pipeline design.

In addition, the air storage tank to maintain the compressed air system pipe network pressure does not appear large fluctuations. Since the air consumption at the end of the compressed air system is generally not always stable, it is necessary to use the air storage tank to balance the system pressure and reduce the frequent loading and unloading of the air compressor.

Another function is to cool the dried compressed air again to reduce the moisture content in the compressed air. For individual compressed air systems, such as the displacement of the air compressor is very large (such as centrifugal air compressor), the volume of the system pipe network is also relatively large (the pipe diameter is large and long) and the gas consumption is relatively stable, it can also be equipped with a gas storage tank. But the general compressed air system needs to be equipped with air storage tank.

There is no place to store compressed air inside the air compressor. Once compressed air is generated, it must be used up. This way of working is not ideal. With the air storage tank, compressed air can be pumped into the air storage tank to a certain pressure, and then the air pressure can be reduced to a certain extent, and the compressor can be started again. This is more ideal in terms of energy utilization and compressed air quality. So no gas tank is not possible.

In addition, for equipment that requires a small amount of compressed air and is not used frequently, the air compressor does not need a gas tank. But taking into account the stability of the air compressor performance, compressed air pressure constant and quality, the best with the tank. After giving netizens a gathered answer, contact the air tank from different angles of the air compressor.

Since the range of action of the air compressor is relatively large, frequent opening and stopping of the pressure vessel during work will increase the wear of the valve, and on the other hand, it will also make the oil circuit unstable, which will cause the instability of the machine. However, if the gas tank is configured, this situation will be relatively reduced.

The frequent start and stop of the air compressor, so the current consumption of the motor will be very large, so the state of using the air compressor will be no load, if this state stays very long, it will waste a lot of traffic. However, if the air system is equipped with an air storage tank, the stability of the air compressor will stop, which can ensure that the work is very stable and reduce unnecessary waste of idling energy.

If there is a gas tank in the air compressor system, the air compressor output air has a buffer place, the air source can be better maintained at a set value, and the gas system can get a constant pressure, which is very necessary for the use of modern factories.

The compressed air from the air compressor is first sent to the air storage tank. The air in the air will stay for a certain period of time, which can precipitate foreign matter such as impurities and moisture in the air. The temperature of the compressed air is also reduced. Even if there is no freeze dryer, it can also Send out relatively high-quality air. In fact, the role of savings is a reservoir, the air compressor is a gas source, and the gas tank is a pool. Air compressor tank can be set according to the air pressure balance in a certain pressure range, buffer pressure fluctuations, reduce the number of air compressor start, in addition to the air tank can also play the precipitation of impurities in the air moisture and other foreign matter function.
