The main functions of the air tank revolve around the two major issues of energy saving and safety. Equipped with an air tank and choosing a suitable air tank should be considered from the perspective of safe use of compressed air and energy saving. Choose an air tank, the most important thing is safety, and the most important thing is energy saving!
1. The air tanks produced by enterprises that strictly implement the standards should be selected; according to relevant national regulations, each air tank must be equipped with a quality assurance certificate before leaving the factory. The quality assurance certificate is the main certificate to prove that the air tank is qualified. If there is no quality assurance certificate , no matter how cheap the air tank is, in order to ensure the safety of use, users are advised not to buy it.
2. The volume of the air tank should be between 10% and 20% of the displacement of the compressor, generally 15%. When the air consumption is large, the volume of the air tank should be appropriately increased; if the on-site air consumption is small, it can be lower than 15%, preferably not lower than 10%; the general air compressor exhaust pressure is 7, 8, 10, 13 kg, of which 7, 8 kg is the most common, so generally 1/7 of the air volume of the air compressor is taken as the selection standard for the tank capacity.
3. The air dryer is installed behind the air tank. The function of the air tank is more fully reflected, and it plays the role of buffering, cooling and sewage discharge, which can reduce the load of the air dryer and is used in the working condition of the system with a more uniform air supply. The air dryer is installed before the air tank, and the system can provide a large peak adjustment capability, which is mostly used in working conditions with large fluctuations in air consumption.
4. When purchasing an air tank, it is recommended not to just look for a low price. Generally, there is a possibility of cutting corners when the price is low. Of course, it is recommended to choose products produced by some reputable manufacturers. There are many brands of gas storage tanks on the market today. Generally, pressure vessels are designed with a relatively high safety factor, and there are safety valves on the pressure vessels. Moreover, the design standards of pressure vessels in China are more conservative than those in foreign countries. So generally speaking, the use of pressure vessels is very safe.
