As the name suggests, a gas storage tank is a container for storing gas. The gas produced by the operation of the oil-free air compressor is stored in the gas storage tank for emergency use. This not only reduces the workload of the screw air compressor, but also reduces a lot of costs. The following is a detailed explanation of the reasons why oil-free air compressors need gas storage tanks.

The reasons why oil-free air compressors need air tanks are as follows：

 Stable air pressure：

The air pressure of oil-free air compressor is very unstable and has great fluctuations when working. Using air storage tanks can control the air pressure within a suitable range and eliminate the pulsation of air flow in the pipeline. With air storage tanks, the compressed air output of oil-free air compressor has a buffer, so that the air source can be better maintained at a set value, and the air system can obtain a constant pressure. This is very necessary for the use of modern factories.

 Storing air：

 There is no place to store compressed air inside the oil-free air compressor. Once the compressed air is produced, it must be used up. This working method is not ideal. With an air storage tank, you can first pump the compressed air into the air storage tank to a certain air pressure, and then use it until the air pressure drops to a certain level, and then start the compressor again. This can meet the sudden increase in air consumption of air-consuming equipment and ensure more stable air consumption.

Energy saving effect：

 The frequent start and stop of the oil-free air compressor will cause the motor to consume a lot of current. With the air storage tank, the oil-free air compressor can be automatically shut down. Once the air storage tank is full of air at the set pressure, the oil-free air compressor will automatically shut down, so as not to waste electricity by letting the oil-free air compressor run all the time.

Cooling and filtration：

The temperature of the compressed air entering the air tank is reduced, achieving the effect of preliminary cooling of the compressed air. At the same time, it can precipitate the water and oil in the compressed air, making the obtained compressed air of higher quality. After the above analysis, we can see that the air tank is an indispensable equipment in the oil-free air compressor system. They are the power source for generating compressed air. The role of the air tank is like a water reservoir. The oil-free air compressor is an air source, and the air tank is a water pool.
