The core component of the gas booster unit is the high pressure gas booster pump, which can output high-pressure gas after compression. The gas booster pump is a pneumatic piston pump, so there is pressure pulsation during operation. But the pressure pulsation is very small, and it does not affect the user’s use in most cases. However, some applications require extremely high gas pressure stability, such as gas assisted injection molding and gas leak detection. In this situation, eliminating the gas pressure pulsation is necessary. The solution is to install a gas buffer tank in the gas booster unit.
The Functions of Adding a Gas Tank in Gas Booster Unit
1. The gas storage tank can sort out the turbulence of high-pressure gas, eliminate the pressure pulsation of gas flow, and make the output pressure of the entire gas booster unit more stable.
2. The gas tank can store the pressurized gas in advance to form a stable high-pressure gas reserve for use at any time, which can meet the need to release a large flow of high-pressure gas instantly.
3. Although the gas booster pump is equipped with self-cooling system, the temperature of the high-pressure gas outputted by the gas booster pump is still higher than the ambient temperature. The gas storage tank can cool the high-pressure gas temporarily stored inside it. (Explore more about Gas Booster Cooling Methods).
4. The gas storage tank can reduce the start-stop frequency of the gas booster, and delay the wear of the internal seals of the gas booster pump, thus extending the service life of the gas booster.
As an experienced gas boosters manufacturer, Senwell has been specialized in the field of gas pressure control for more than ten years. Whether it is necessary to add a gas storage tank to the gas booster system depends mainly on the specific needs of the user. Our engineers will customize professional gas booster solutions based on the customer’s application and needs.
