Why should the air compressor be equipped with a gas storage tank?
2019-03-24

Why do air compressors have to store gas tanks? The main reason is that the air compressor is rated. If there is a container for storing compressed air, if you use the gas, the pressure in the container is less than the rated pressure of the air compressor, then the air compressor will work, and you When the air compressor is rated at the rated power without air, the air compressor will stop.


Gas tank selection basis


The gas storage tank is an industrial equipment commonly used in the industry for purifying and compressing air. It is also one of the special safety equipments strictly regulated by the state, and it also directly affects the unloading load of the air compressor. Therefore, the correct choice of the gas storage tank has Important role:


Products manufactured by companies that strictly implement the GB150-98 "Steel Pressure Vessel" standard are selected.


The gas storage tank is selected according to the following formula:


V=N×Q÷(P+1)


V: gas storage tank volume


Q: Air compressor displacement


P: exhaust pressure



N is a parameter. The recommended value for customers with stable gas consumption is 1 to 2. The recommended value is 3, which is frequent but the fluctuation is not large. If the fluctuation is frequent and the fluctuation value is large, it is recommended to take 4 or more.


It seems to be a very complicated calculation. In fact, you only need to find a supplier who knows the configuration of the air compressor system. For how to choose a large gas storage tank, how to configure it and what equipment is needed, you don't have to worry about it.
