In addition to gas storage and buffer functions, the gas storage tank is also a simple separation tank. It uses the volumetric slow separation principle to achieve the purpose of separating part of the oil and water in the compressed air. Therefore, in addition to gas storage tanks and buffer tanks, gas storage tanks can also be called separation tanks.

The main function of the gas storage tank is to store and buffer gas, and it does not belong to the equipment for removing oil and water. Why is the gas storage tank the equipment for removing oil and water most? In fact, the gas storage tank is a typical equipment that uses the volumetric separation principle to separate part of the oil and water. If the air compressor fills the gas storage tank for 1 minute and a half, then the time that compressed air enters and leaves the gas storage tank in the gas storage tank is theoretically about 1 minute and a half. During the 1 minute and a half of the compressed air staying in the gas storage tank, in addition to reducing the temperature, the flow rate is very slow. Under the action of gravity, part of the oil and water in the compressed air is separated.
