A gas storage tank is a specialized device used for storing gases, also serving the purpose of stabilizing system pressure. It can be categorized into high-pressure, low-pressure, and atmospheric pressure storage tanks based on the pressure they can withstand. Additionally, they can be classified by material as carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and stainless steel storage tanks. A gas storage tank (pressure vessel) typically consists of components such as the cylinder, end caps, flanges, pipe connections, sealing elements, and supports. Furthermore, it is equipped with safety devices, meters, and internal parts designed for various production processes.

Air compressors are one of the crucial large fixed power equipment in coal mines, widely used both underground and on the surface, primarily to supply air hammers, rock drills, and rock boring machines at the mining faces. The air storage tank is a配套 equipment for the air compressor, installed outdoors. Air enters the compressor, gets pressurized, and is then sent to the air storage tank. It is then distributed through the tank's piping to various gas-consuming locations. The main function of the air storage tank in the air compression system is to ensure stable gas supply. The compressed air settles in the air storage tank, regulating pressure fluctuations caused by uneven gas consumption in pneumatic equipment, enhancing the pressure stability of the gas-consuming equipment, or storing a portion of compressed air for emergency use in case of an air compressor failure, allowing users to utilize this stored compressed air for urgent pneumatic equipment or control system operations.
