Common uses and specifications of gas storage cylinders (air storage tanks)
1、 Main purpose
1. Vehicle braking system: stores compressed air to provide power source for pneumatic braking of trucks, trailers, and buses, and is the core energy storage component of the braking system.
2. Auxiliary air system: provides compressed air for pneumatic devices such as pneumatic doors, pneumatic suspension, clutch assist, etc. of the vehicle.
3. Gas source stabilization: Stabilize the pressure of the pneumatic system, avoid pressure fluctuations caused by intermittent operation of the air compressor, and ensure stable operation of pneumatic components.
2、 Common specifications
1. Material: The mainstream is aluminum alloy (lightweight, corrosion-resistant), and there are also steel gas storage cylinders (low-cost, high strength).
2. Capacity: Common 10\ mathrm{L}、15\mathrm{L}、20\mathrm{L}、30\mathrm{L}、40\mathrm{L}、60\mathrm{L}， Trucks/trailers often use 20 \ mathrm {L}~60 \ mathrm {L}.
3. Size: The diameter is commonly 200 mm, 250 mm, 300 mm, and the length is adapted according to the volume (such as 200 × 500 mm, 250 × 600 mm).
4. Work pressure: The regular work pressure is 0.8~1.0 MPa, and the pressure test pressure is not less than 1.5 MPa.
5. Interface specifications: The air inlet and outlet are mostly 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch threaded, with some equipped with drain valve interfaces.
