:Handshake Rookie’s Daily Question, as the title suggests
The purpose of the buffer tank becomes apparent only when nitrogen supply is suddenly stopped (usually a sudden power outage causes voltage fluctuations that result in the nitrogen station stopping operation).
Since it’s a buffer, it must surely serve a purpose – it’s for safety reasons! Just like a buffer tank, there is a certain response time in the event of an accident!
