Requirements and benefits of configuring gas storage tanks for gas booster pumps

We have previously learned about the principle of gas booster pumps, which generate high pressure by pushing a small piston through a large area of the piston. However, gas booster pumps belong to the category of reciprocating booster pumps, and the output pressure is in batches. Therefore, in principle, some customers need to configure buffer tanks.

What are the requirements for configuring gas storage tanks for gas booster pumps? Below, the editor will list some for your reference

1. The pressure value of the gas storage tank must be higher than the rated output pressure of the gas booster pump.

2. The use of gas storage tanks must be supported by manufacturers with pressure vessel production qualifications.

3. The use of gas storage tanks must have a pressure vessel usage certificate.

4. The gas storage tank equipped with the gas booster pump must have protective measures such as pressure relief valves and drainage valves.

The size of the gas storage tank for the gas booster pump is also required (as described below)

1. The capacity of the air storage tank equipped with the low-pressure pump is generally large, such as ZTM02/ZTV05/ZTV02. The configuration of the air storage tank is usually around 20-1000 liters, while the high-pressure air storage tank generally does not exceed 80L, such as some air storage tanks that are 1-10L.

2. Each gas booster pump must be equipped with a booster gas storage tank that complies with the installation instructions for the booster pump.

What are the benefits of configuring a gas storage tank?

1. Stability: The gas booster pump can buffer high-pressure gas into a pressure vessel and then use it for output. The principle is equivalent to the stable output of the buffer tank equipped with the air compressor.

2. Stable pressure, gas booster pump with gas storage cylinder can ensure stable pressure output, especially for some gas assisted injection molding industries.

3. Flexibility: The pressure gauge, valve, pressure reducing valve, etc. on the gas storage tank make the use of gas booster pumps more flexible.
