What is the function and principle of the accumulator tank in a relief valve?

I saw in the equipment that there was a small tank next to many control valves, with purified air flowing through it! ! I have a question: What is the function of this jar? And the principle and how to use it?
Under normal conditions, the function of these air tanks is to buffer the instrument air, ensuring stable pressure, and they can also remove moisture and other substances. In emergency situations (that is, when the instrument air supply to the system is interrupted), it ensures that this self-protection valve carries out its prescribed self-protection actions, thereby maintaining system safety.
I’m not quite sure what this means: “To ensure that the self-protection valve carries out its prescribed self-protection actions in emergency situations (that is, when the system’s instrument air supply is interrupted)”? 1. In an emergency situation, does the self-protecting valve operate on its own thanks to the purified air inside the tank? Or, in an emergency situation, does the self-protection valve operate as a result of human intervention, with the tank serving only to provide purified air?
