Corrosion-Resistant Storage Tank

I. Definition

The air storage tank is used for buffering air and also serves as a cooling function (the exhaust temperature from an air compressor is approximately 70-80℃). Its most crucial role is to initially remove water and oil. The tank can remove up to 70% of oil and water, making it an indispensable equipment for air compressors.

Section II: Functions

1. Air Storage: There is no storage for compressed air in an air compressor. Once the compressed air reaches the set pressure, it will be exhausted. By using an air storage tank, finished compressed air can be stored, ensuring a more stable air supply.

2. Pressure Stability: When an air compressor is running, the air pressure is unstable and fluctuates greatly. An air storage tank can be used to control the air pressure within an appropriate range, andEliminateFluctuations in gas flow within the pipeline. Through the air storage tank, the compressed air output from the air compressor will have a buffer zone, which is well-sourced and can maintain the set value. The gas system can achieve relatively stable pressure.

3. Cooling Filtration: The temperature of the finished compressed air entering the air storage tank will be reduced to achieve the effect of preliminary cooling of the compressed air. At the same time, it can deposit some water and oil in the compressed air, enhancing the quality of the finished compressed air product.

III. Installation

1. The Full Assembly Method: This method involves first welding the base of the tank to the foundation, then assembling and welding the annular plates of the tank wall onto the base. Subsequently, the bottom plate is welded, and the second annular wall plate is mechanically assembled and sequentially welded onto the first. The longitudinal seam of the second annular wall plate is then welded, followed by the circumferential seam between the second annular wall plate and the annular plate. This process is repeated in order until the assembly and welding of the subsequent annular wall plates are completed. Large floating roof tanks typically use this full assembly method, with automatic welding commonly employed for the welding of wall and bottom plates.

2. Inverted Method: The construction process of the inverted method is the opposite of the conventional method. The process for the inverted method is: lay the tank bottom plate → install the annular side walls on the laid tank bottom plate → fabricate and install the tank top → hoist as a whole → install the next annular side wall → hoist as a whole → continue this process from top to bottom until the next annular side wall is installed.
