What is the function of a gas storage tank

Air compressor is one of the important large-scale fixed power equipment in coal mines, widely used underground and on the ground, mainly for supplying air picks, drills, and rock drills to mining faces. The air storage tank is a supporting equipment of the air compressor, installed outdoors. Air enters the compressor and is pressurized before being sent to the storage tank, which is then supplied to various gas consumption locations through the storage tank pipeline. The main function of the storage tank in the air compression system is to ensure stable gas supply. Compressed air settles and accumulates water in the air storage tank, regulating the pressure fluctuations of pneumatic equipment caused by imbalanced air consumption, increasing the pressure stability of pneumatic equipment, or storing a portion of compressed air. In the event of a compressor failure, users can use this portion of compressed air for emergency treatment of pneumatic equipment or pneumatic control systems.
