Why is there a safety hazard in the gas storage tank of the air compressor?

The air compressor air storage tank is mainly composed of three parts: air storage tank, safety valve and pressure gauge. The safety valve and pressure gauge are mainly used to ensure the safety of the air storage tank. As we all know, the air compressor air storage tank is a closed steel tank, and there are many safety hazards due to the high pressure inside. In severe cases, it will cause an explosion, which will damage equipment and people. Safety. Today, let's discuss the reasons why there are safety hazards in the air compressor gas storage tank.
(1) Defects in the design and production of air compressor storage tanks
The air compressor storage tank is not designed in accordance with the requirements of relevant specifications. Design materials, design pressure, design temperature, welding coefficient, strength test, non-destructive testing, connection and reinforcement of connecting pipes, selection of corrosion allowance and determination of parameters, setting and design structure of overpressure relief devices, etc. are unreasonable. There are defects such as uneven wall thickness, pores, cracks, severe corrosion, etc. Even if the air compressor gas storage tank can still work under the rated pressure, there are still potential safety hazards.
(2) Overpressure of air compressor storage tank
There are many reasons for the overpressure of the air compressor air storage tank, such as unreasonable selection of the air storage tank, the design pressure of the selected air storage tank is lower than the exhaust pressure of the air compressor, the safety relief device or pressure adjustment device of the air compressor Failure, failure of the matching safety valve on the gas storage tank... These may cause the gas storage tank to overpressure.
(3) Vibration
The vibration caused by the air compressor will be transmitted to the air storage tank through the pipeline. If the installation of the air storage tank is not standardized and good measures to eliminate vibration are not taken, it will lead to pipeline vibration, loose connection, pipeline cracking, compressed gas leakage or safety accidents.
Therefore, we must do a good job in the safety precautions of the air compressor storage tank.
