Is a buffer tank between the compressor and the dryer necessary?
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I have a question: Is it necessary to have a buffer tank between the screw compressor and the suction dryer? Since there is a large storage tank behind the dryer, is it possible to remove this intermediate buffer tank? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having this jar versus not having it? If it cannot be removed, how is its size generally determined? The unit output is 80 Nm3/h, with a pressure of 0.85 MPa. Please, experts, give some advice! Thank you.
Explanation: The unit’s output is 80 Nm3/min
It’s better not to remove it; keeping it is preferable. Prevent fluctuations in the upstream units from directly affecting fluctuations in the drying system. Additionally, some processes require both a dry (purified) and a non-dry (unpurified) system to exist, with branches originating only from this buffer tank.
The screw compressor still produces a relatively steady airflow, but it is generally still equipped with such a device.
