Compressed air tanks from Nordic Filtration are available in a myriad of different sizes and in several different materials. Our range includes compressed air tanks in stainless steel, painted and galvanized versions. The tanks are available in both horizontal and vertical versions and will be either 11 or 16 bar as standard.
With a capacity of up to 10,000 L, there are tanks for almost any type of production – regardless of size.
Air compressor tanks, also known as compressed air containers, are closed vessels designed to store air at a higher pressure than atmospheric pressure. They are a critical component of compressed air systems and are used to store the compressed air necessary for various industrial processes and tool operations.
Primary Purposes and Applications:
Energy Storage: Compressed air acts as an energy source and can be released as needed. Pressure Stabilization: The tanks help stabilize pressure within the system by reducing pressure fluctuations. Water Separation: When air is compressed, water vapor condenses and can be separated from the air in the tank.
Air compressor tanks are widely used in many industries, including:
Manufacturing: For operating pneumatic equipment such as drills and assembly lines. Automotive: In brake and suspension systems. Construction: For operating tools like nail guns and drills. Energy: In turbines and for energy storage.
Key Considerations When Choosing an Air Compressor Tank
When choosing an air compressor tank, several important factors need to be considered:
Material: Steel, painted steel and stainless steel, are the most common materials, each with its advantages and disadvantages depending on the application. Size and Capacity: The size should match the air volume needs and the systematic pressure required by the facility. Pressure Requirements: The tanks are rated by the maximum working pressure they can handle, so it's crucial to select a tank that meets the system's pressure requirements.
Maintenance of Air Compressor Tanks
Maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and safe operation of air compressor tanks:
Regular Inspection: Check for corrosion, cracks, and leaks. Drainage of Condensate: Water collected in the tank should be regularly drained to prevent corrosion. Pressure Testing: Periodic pressure tests should be conducted to ensure the tank's integrity.
Compressed air tanks are indispensable in many industrial applications and require careful consideration and maintenance. By choosing the right type and size of tank and maintaining it properly, you can maximize both efficiency and safety in your compressed air systems.
By understanding and implementing these considerations, businesses and technicians can ensure optimal operation and safety, making air compressor tanks a central part of modern industrial and mechanical systems.
