Jinqu Man 6 single-chamber iron air storage tank Function
- Store compressed air: Compressed air produced by the air compressor is first stored in the air storage tank to provide a stable air source for vehicle braking systems, air suspension, air horns, and other pneumatic equipment, ensuring that these devices can operate normally. For example, during vehicle braking, the air storage tank can promptly provide sufficient pressure compressed air to the brake chamber, pushing the brake shoes into contact with the brake drum or brake disc to achieve vehicle deceleration or stopping.
- Stabilize air pressure: The air pressure output by the air compressor is unstable, and the air storage tank can act as a buffer to stabilize the output air pressure. It keeps the air pressure in the system within a relatively stable range, preventing excessive air pressure fluctuations from damaging pneumatic equipment and extending the service life of the equipment.
- Preliminary filtration of impurities and water separation: The flow rate of compressed air slows down in the air storage tank, and some dust, oil stains, and some water vapor will settle to the bottom of the air storage tank due to gravity, playing a role in preliminary filtration and water separation of compressed air, reducing the impact of impurities and water on the pneumatic system components.
Working principle
- Inflation process: When the air compressor is working, the outside air is filtered through the air filter and enters the air compressor to be compressed. The compressed high-temperature and high-pressure air enters the air storage tank through the pipeline. In this process, as air continuously enters the air storage tank, the air pressure in the air storage tank gradually increases. When the pressure reaches the upper limit set by the air compressor (e.g., around 0.8 MPa), the unloading valve on the air compressor opens, the air compressor idles, and stops inflating the air storage tank.
- Air usage process: When the vehicle's pneumatic equipment (such as the braking system, air horn, etc.) needs compressed air, the compressed air in the air storage tank flows to the pneumatic equipment through the pipeline. As the compressed air flows out, the air pressure in the air storage tank gradually decreases. When the pressure drops to the lower limit set by the air compressor (e.g., around 0.6 MPa), the air compressor unloading valve closes, and the air compressor starts working again to inflate the air storage tank, restoring the air pressure in the air storage tank to the normal range.
- Drainage and maintenance: To ensure the normal operation of the air storage tank, regular drainage operations are required. The bottom of the air storage tank generally has a drain valve. When the drain valve is opened, the accumulated water, oil stains, and impurities at the bottom of the air storage tank will be discharged to prevent these substances from causing corrosion or blockage to the pneumatic system.
