1, air pressure is stable. The air pressure of the air compressor is very unstable and fluctuates greatly when working. The air pressure can be controlled in a suitable range by using the air storage tank, and the pulsation of air flow in the pipeline can be eliminated. With the gas storage tank, the compressed air output by the air compressor has a buffer place, so that the gas source can be kept at the set value and the gas system can obtain a constant pressure.
2. Store air. The air compressor has no place to store compressed air, and once it is produced, it must be used up, which is not ideal. With the gas storage tank, compressed air can be pumped into the gas storage tank to a certain air pressure, then the air pressure is reduced to a certain degree, and then the compressor is started, which can meet the demand of sudden increase of gas consumption of gas equipment and ensure more stable gas consumption.
3. Energy saving effect. Frequent start and stop of the air compressor will make the current consumption of the motor very large. With the gas storage tank, the air compressor can be automatically stopped. Under the set pressure, the air compressor will automatically stop when the air storage tank is full, so as not to waste electric energy by keeping the air compressor running all the time.
4. Cooling and filtering. Reduce the temperature of compressed air entering the air storage tank to achieve the effect of cooling the compressed air. At the same time, water and oil in compressed air can be precipitated, so that the quality of compressed air is higher.
Extended data:
The size and use of gas storage tanks are different. For air compressors, the medium is not necessarily air. Gas storage tanks are sometimes divided into natural gas storage tanks, liquefied gas storage tanks, biogas storage tanks and other inert gas storage tanks, and some are divided into high-pressure storage tanks and low-pressure storage tanks.
The gasholder is a ten-pressure vessel with simple structure and uncomplicated manufacture. Just roll up the steel plate, connect a weld, and then weld the upper and lower bottoms. However, it is not as simple as it looks. As a pressure vessel, you must be able to withstand considerable pressure to be competent.
Gas storage tank is a special equipment with high safety requirements and strict management. Generally, it must be tested by the pressure vessel organization of the local labor department and issued with a license before it can be used.
On the air compressor, you can see this blue enamel license plate, which reads "pressure vessel license plate": the signature is from the labor inspection department, and the number of this equipment is also marked. Each gas storage tank has an account in the labor department: this account is in the hands of all users and should be checked regularly.
