The role of air compressor gas storage tank, although you know, but not necessarily comprehensive!

1. Store air to meet the demand of sudden and instantaneous increase in gas consumption of gas equipment;
2. Store air to eliminate the pulsation of air flow in the pipeline;
3. Initially cool the air and let part of the liquid water precipitation. Therefore, the gas storage tank should be drained regularly;
4. It can ensure the automatic shutdown of the air compressor, and the air compressor will automatically stop as soon as the air storage tank is full under the set pressure, so as not to waste energy when the air compressor is running all the time

 

The role of the gas storage tank is extended

Theoretically, the larger the gas storage tank, the better, which can reduce the frequency of frequent start-up of the air compressor. Star delta start belongs to power frequency start. The instantaneous current of motor start is about 7 times of the rated current. Frequent start will cause great damage to the electrical part of air compressor, reduce the life of the electrical part, and have a greater impact on the power grid, which will affect the normal use of other electrical equipment.

Q: Can the storage tank of the screw air compressor not be used?

A1: The air compressor outlet gas storage tank can not only play a stable air outlet pressure, buffer and so on, at the same time, there is an important role that general users will not notice, that is, to prevent the air compressor downtime, compressed air pipeline for some reason to return liquid, pour into the air compressor, because of its damage. If this tank is removed, an inverted U-bend design is used to do the same for the pipe design.

A2: The function of the gas storage tank is to maintain the pressure of the pipe network of the compressed air system from large fluctuations. Because the gas consumption at the end of the compressed air system generally cannot be stable at any time, the gas storage tank should be used to balance the stability of the system pressure and reduce the frequent loading and unloading of the air compressor. Another function is to cool the compressed air again after drying to reduce the content of water in the compressed gas.

For individual compressed air systems, such as air compressor displacement is large (such as centrifugal air compressor), the volume of the system pipe network is also large (pipe diameter is large and long) and the gas is relatively stable, can also not be equipped with gas storage tanks. But general compressed air systems need to be equipped with gas storage tanks.

A3: Inside the air compressor has no place to store compressed air, once produce must be used in the compressed air, this way of working is not ideal, with storage tanks, can first will play into the storage tanks of compressed air to a certain pressure, and then use air pressure to a certain extent, the compressor to start again, so that both from the perspective of energy utilization and compressed air quality management are more ideal. So you can't do it without a tank.

A4: For equipment with small and infrequent use of compressed air, air compressor can not be used as a storage tank, but also considering the stability of air compressor performance, constant pressure and quality of compressed air, it is best to be equipped with a storage tank.

1. Air pressure maneuver

Because the range of action of the air compressor is relatively large, the pressure vessel is frequently opened and stopped in the work, which increases the wear of the valve, and also makes the oil and gas path unstable, which causes the instability of the machine. But if the gas storage tank is configured, this situation will be relatively reduced.

2. Energy saving effect

The frequent start and stop of the air compressor, so the electric flow of the motor will be very large, so the state of the air compressor in use will be empty. If this state stays very long, it will waste a lot of flow. But if the air storage tank is equipped with the air system, the stability of the air compressor will stop, which can ensure the stability of the work and reduce the waste of unnecessary idling energy.

3. Provide a stable air source

Why do air compressors need supporting gas storage tanks? If there is a gas reservoir 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.

4. Good air quality

The compressed air from the air compressor is first sent to the gas storage tank. The air in it will stay for a certain time, can precipitate impurities, moisture and other foreign bodies in the air, and the temperature of the compressed air is also reduced. Even without the freeze dryer, it can also send relatively high quality air.

In fact, the role of savings is a reservoir, the air compressor is a source of air, and the gas storage tank is a pool. The gas storage tank can adjust the pressure within a certain pressure range according to the setting, buffer the fluctuation of the air pressure, reduce the number of starts of the air compressor, and the gas storage tank can also play the function of settling impurities in the air, water and other foreign bodies.
