GAC Hino - E0331 Steel Gas Cylinder

The GAC Hino S4401-E0331 air reservoir, serving as a gas storage device in the vehicle's braking system, plays several key roles: - **Energy Storage**: Components like truck brakes and horns rely on compressed air. However, the air volume pumped instantly by the air compressor is often insufficient. The reservoir stores the compressed air produced by the compressor, ensuring a steady supply when needed to keep these components functioning properly. - **Filtration**: The air drawn into the reservoir from the compressor contains impurities such as dust, water vapor, and oil. As the air briefly pauses in the reservoir, heavier contaminants settle at the bottom, effectively filtering out these particles and protecting the vehicle’s pneumatic system from damage. - **Pressure Stabilization**: The reciprocating motion of the air compressor’s piston causes fluctuations in the pressure of the compressed air delivered to the vehicle’s air lines. By temporarily holding the unstable air, the reservoir smooths out these pressure variations, delivering consistent, reliable air pressure essential for the proper operation of systems like the braking mechanism. - **Cooling**: When ambient air is compressed by the air compressor, it heats up significantly. This increase in temperature reduces air density, limiting storage capacity and making it harder for moisture to condense. The reservoir helps cool the compressed air back to an optimal temperature, ensuring efficient storage and preventing potential issues caused by overheated air.
