How Large A Storage Tank Does An Air Compressor Need?

Jul 28, 2022

If you buy an air compressor, you must be equipped with an air storage tank, and if the oil and water requirements are high, you may also need a dryer and a filter. As for how to match, is there any ratio reference? Of course there is. In fact, for those who do air compressor sales, this is a very common sense problem.


How to select an air storage tank for an air compressor?

According to practical application experience, the ratio of air compressor and air storage tank is generally about 3:1, which is more suitable, which is a standard configuration ratio; of course, as long as the ratio of air compressor and air storage tank is not less than 6:1, it is also possible .

For example, if the air compressor's displacement per minute is 6 cubic meters, then it is more appropriate for the air storage tank to be equipped with 2 cubic meters. Of course, a 1 cubic, that is, a 1000L air storage tank can also be used, but the air storage capacity is relatively small, and the frequency of air compressor loading and unloading is slightly higher, which has little impact on the life of the equipment itself.


If space and other conditions permit, and you don't count the purchase cost, of course there is no problem if you want to install a larger gas tank. For example, if you buy a 3-cubic air compressor, I just want a 3-cubic air tank, and no one will stop you.


How big is the dryer and filter for a 10 cubic air compressor?

The above describes how the air compressor is equipped with an air storage tank. Here I will talk about how the air compressor is equipped with a dryer and a filter. In fact, the air compressor with the dryer is the best match, just follow the 1:1 principle. For example, if the air output of the air compressor is 10 cubic meters, then you can configure a refrigerated dryer and a pipeline filter with a processing capacity of 10 cubic meters.


Of course, there is no problem with a slightly larger size. For example, a 5-cubic air compressor is equipped with a 6-cubic air dryer, and the effect is not to be said. But you can't match it too much. For example, if you have a 2 cubic air compressor, you go with a 12 cubic dryer, but it is easy to be blocked by ice.
