The function, uses, and applications of the D481AL-060 double-hole aluminum alloy gas cylinder are as follows: :
Function and Use
- Storing compressed air: This involves keeping the gas compressed by the air compressor, providing a stable air supply for the vehicle’s braking system, air suspension system, horn system, and more.
- Stable air pressure: When air is pumped into the system by the air compressor, the pressure can be unstable. The air receiver tank allows this fluctuating air to settle before delivering a steady supply of compressed air, effectively balancing the intermittent nature of the compressor's air supply with the demands of air consumption.
- Filtering impurities and moisture: Air pumped into the system by the air compressor contains impurities such as dust, water molecules, and oil. Due to their heavier weight, these contaminants settle at the bottom of the air tank, effectively filtering out harmful particles and protecting the pipelines and valves from corrosion.
- Cooling effect: When outside air is drawn into the air compressor and compressed, it generates heat. The air receiver tank helps reduce the temperature of the compressed air, increasing air density and allowing more air to be stored in a smaller volume—while also promoting efficient water condensation.
Application
- Commercial vehicle braking system: Provides the necessary air pressure for the braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, high-pressure air from the air reservoir is delivered through pipelines to the individual wheel cylinders, activating the braking mechanism.
- Air suspension system: In some commercial vehicles equipped with air suspension, the compressed air stored in the air reservoir is used to adjust the height and stiffness of the suspension, allowing it to adapt to varying road conditions and load requirements.
- Other auxiliary systems: Provide an air supply for the vehicle's horn system, enabling the vehicle to emit audible signals; they can also deliver compressed air to the clutch assist system, reducing the effort required for drivers to operate the clutch.
