Why do air compressors have to store gas tanks?

There is no gas storage tank, compressed air is directly supplied to the gas terminal, and the gas terminal is used for a little. The air compressor compresses a little, and repeated loading and unloading will cause a great burden on the air compressor. Therefore, the air compressor basically cannot use the gas storage tank. Since there is no container for storing compressed air, the air compressor basically stops as long as it is opened. After stopping, reload again!

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.

When there is a gas storage tank, even if the air compressor is shut down, you can still use compressed air because of the compressed air already stored in the gas storage tank. The air compressor starts frequently, and the starting current of the motor is very large. Generally, the starting current is about 5 times of the normal working current. At this time, the energy consumption is also relatively large.

During the opening and stopping of the air compressor, the air compressor is in an empty state. If this process is long, the energy is wasted. The air system of the air tank is equipped, and the air compressor can stop under stable pressure. , not only to ensure the continuity of the work, but also to make the machine not waste energy due to unnecessary idling.

So how big is the air tank of the air compressor? For example, if your air compressor discharge volume is 2 cubic meters, if you use a larger amount of gas, buy a 2 cubic gas storage tank, then your gas storage tank can be installed within 8 minutes. Full and reach the rated pressure. Assuming that your gas consumption is still not enough, you can also purchase a 10 cubic tank, so that the gas tank can be filled in 40 minutes, depending on your production needs and the amount of gas used to decide how much storage to use. Gas tank.

Air tanks are like bows and arrows for air compressors. Generally they complement each other. Gas storage tanks are a necessary type of follow-up equipment for air compressors. Generally, customers purchase them together when they purchase air compressor equipment.
