One, Definition
Air receivers are used for air buffering and also serve as a cooling device (the exhaust temperature of an air compressor is around 70-80℃), but their most critical function is to initially remove water and oil. The storage tank can remove up to 70% of oil and water, making the air receiver an indispensable piece of equipment for air compressors.
Section II: Function
1. Air Storage: There is no storage for compressed air within an air compressor. Once the compressed air reaches the predetermined pressure, it will be depleted. By using an air receiver, finished compressed air can be stored, ensuring a more stable air supply.
2. Pressure Stability: Air compressors may experience unstable pressure and significant fluctuations during operation. The air storage tank can be used to maintain the pressure within an appropriate range, andEliminateFluctuations in gas flow within the pipeline. The compressed air output from the air compressor, via the air storage tank, will have a buffer zone with a good source, maintaining the set value. The gas system can achieve relatively stable pressure.
3. Cooling Filtration: The temperature of the finished compressed air entering the air receiver 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.
Section 3: 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焊接 in sections, with the longitudinal welds and circumferential welds between the second annular wall plate and the annular plate being焊接 next. This process is repeated sequentially upwards until the assembly and welding of the next annular wall plate is complete. Large floating roof tanks typically use the full assembly method for construction, with automatic welding commonly employed for the welding of wall and bottom plates.
2. Inverted Construction Method: The construction process of the inverted method is the opposite of the conventional method. The steps for the inverted construction method are as follows: lay the bottom plate of the tank → install the circumferential wall panels on the laid bottom plate → manufacture and install the tank roof → lift the entire structure → install the next circumferential wall panel → lift the entire structure again → continue this process, installing panels from the top down, until the next circumferential wall panel is reached.
