High Quality Screw Air Compressor Accessories Air Storage Tank

1. The function of post-treatment equipment for air compressors

For compressed air systems, the role of post-treatment equipment is crucial. Due to the high pressure and friction experienced by air compressors during operation, a significant amount of heat is generated. At the same time, the air entering the compressor also contains a large amount of moisture and impurities. These will affect the normal operation of the system and cause system failures. Therefore, post-treatment equipment for air compressors has emerged.

2. The function of the air compressor aftercooler

The main function of the air compressor aftercooler is to dissipate a large amount of heat. When compressed air comes out of the compressor, the temperature usually reaches over 100 ℃, so it needs to be cooled down to around 40 ℃ before it can enter the storage tank. If not cooled, the moisture in the compressed air will condense in the air storage tank, affecting the normal operation of the system.

3. The function of gas storage tank

A gas storage tank refers to a container that stores compressed air. Its main function is to filter out moisture and impurities from the compressed air, while stabilizing the output pressure of the atmospheric compressor. The gas storage tank is usually located behind the compressor, which can ensure the smooth output of the compressor and avoid the heavy operational burden caused by excessive instantaneous demand. The size and quantity of air storage tanks depend on the air demand and usage.

4. The function of air dryer

The main function of an air dryer is to remove moisture and impurities from compressed air, achieving a certain degree of dryness and cleanliness, and maintaining the stability and operational efficiency of the system. Because moisture and impurities can cause damage to the pneumatic equipment and pipelines within the system, resulting in shortened lifespan and decreased operational efficiency.

5. Summary

The post-treatment equipment of the air compressor is a key component for maintaining the normal operation of the compressed air system. Its function is to filter out moisture and impurities in the compressed air, improve the stability and operational efficiency of the system. Therefore, when selecting and using compressed air systems, attention should be paid to the selection and maintenance of post-treatment equipment to ensure the normal and continuous operation of the system.

Air compressors are widely used, but the discharged gas contains many impurities, which can affect the working environment and machinery equipment. Therefore, post-treatment equipment is needed to filter and purify the gas. Common post-processing equipment includes oil-water separators, refrigerated dryers, filters, etc.It refers to a complete set of filtration and drying equipment developed to remove small solid particles, large amounts of water and oil contained in compressed air through an air compressor. This includes (compressed air storage tank, compressed air high-efficiency oil remover, compressed air precision filter, refrigerated dryer, adsorption dryer, compressed air rear cooler, etc.)
