An air tank is a pressure-resistant container for storing air pumped by an air compressor. It is an important device that contributes to a stable supply of compressed air and to extending the service life of the air compressor.
Even if the air compressor should break down, the compressed air remaining in the tank allows work to continue to some extent.
There is a wide variety of products available, from portable to large stationary models, and you can select the appropriate product according to the capacity of your air compressor.
The air compressor stores air pumped by the air compressor and supplies compressed air to power various air tools, full-pneumatic brakes and air suspensions of large vehicles, shift cylinders, and other equipment.
Portable air tools can be used on the road by filling them with compressed air in advance using an air compressor.
Those used in large vehicles are equipped with a pressure gauge that alerts the driver with sound and display when air pressure drops due to excessive braking or other factors.
Since compressed air can be stored, the service life of air compressors can be extended and the frequency of maintenance is reduced.
In addition, since the stored compressed air is reduced to a constant pressure via a regulator and then pumped into each pipe, pressure fluctuations originating from the air compressor are unlikely to occur.
In addition, since water accumulates at the bottom of the pressure-resistant container due to internal condensation caused by repeated depressurization and pressurization, a drain valve is provided at the bottom of the main unit. If the tank is left unattended without draining, internal corrosion may occur, causing air leaks or, in the worst case, the pressure-resistant container may explode.
Each air tank has a pre-defined amount of compressed air to be filled, but if the tank is not selected according to the rated output of the air compressor to be used and its capacity to boost the pressure, the supply may not keep up with the demand, which may shorten the life of the air compressor.
