Main technical data
Cylinder
All the cylinders comprise upper plate, diaphragms, and cylinder body etc. The diaphragms are clamped between the cylinder cover and cylinder body. The cylinder cover and cylinder body each has a concave recess hollowed out in their contacting faces. The gas cylinder is formed between cylinder cover concave recess and diaphragms. Both suction valve and discharge valve are fitted on the upper plate. Among of them, the discharge valve is located on the center of the upper plate. The evenly located small oil holes are on the cylinder body to deliver the oil pressure inside the oil cylinder to the bottom of diaphragms (each diaphragm compressor’s cylinder has 3 piece diaphragm.)
Pressure Regulating Valve
The oil pressure of oil cylinder is regulated by the tension of the valve spring.In case the oil pressure is higher than the regulated value, turn the regulating bolt counter-clockwise to loosen the spring tension, but turn the regulating bolt clockwise to tighten the spring, when the oil pressure is lower than the regulated value. When the oil pressure meets the required value, the regulating bolt must be locked with a lock-nut. The oil pressure of the oil cylinder shall always be higher than the discharge pressure by 15~20%. But the oil and gas differential pressure shall not be lower than 0.3MPa or higher than 1.5MPa.
Cooler
The cooler structure is the double-wall pipe type. The circular space between the outer and inner pipe is the cooling water passage and the inner pipe is the gas passage. Normally the water inlet port is at the lower side and the water outlet port is at the upper side. The flow direction of cooling water and gas is on the contrary.
Oil Pressure Measuring Device
The measuring device of oil cylinder discharge pressure consists of shock-proof pressure gauge, check valve and unloading valve. The case of the pressure gauge is totally airproof and filled with damping liquid. The inner devices of gauge is immersed in the liquid, which makes the pressure gauge hands stable through the function of the viscosity of damping liquid. The unloading valve is fitted under the gauge to discharge the remained air in the oil pipeline and to unload the oil pressure gauge. Also the check valve connecting with oil cylinder through pipeline is fitted under the unloading valve.
Oil pipes
Oil pipes consist of lube oil pipe and oil pressure secure system.
The lubrication for the driving device adopts gear oil pump circulation pressure lubricating. The lube oil stored in the frame oil tank enters into the gear oil pump after being filtered and is pressed into the oil holes in the crankshaft through the gear oil pump to lubricate the crankshaft friction surface. At the same time, part of the lube oil reaches the crosshead pin and crosshead along the oil holes in the connecting rod to lubricate the friction surface. The oil pressure of gear oil pump shall be kept between 0.3~0.5Mpa, and the bearings at the 2 ends of crankshaft is splash lubricated.
Oil pressure secure system consists of oil compensating pipe, pressure-measuring pipe and oil return pipe. The oil output from the oil compensating pump will supplement oil for compressor cylinders through the oil compensating pipe and the excess oil returns to the crankcase through the pressure-regulating valve.

What is the impact of tank size on air compressor performance?
The tank size of an air compressor plays a significant role in its performance and functionality. Here are the key impacts of tank size:
1. Air Storage Capacity: The primary function of the air compressor tank is to store compressed air. A larger tank size allows for greater air storage capacity. This means the compressor can build up a reserve of compressed air, which can be useful for applications that require intermittent or fluctuating air demand. Having a larger tank ensures a steady supply of compressed air during peak usage periods.
2. Run Time: The tank size affects the run time of the air compressor. A larger tank can provide longer continuous operation before the compressor motor needs to restart. This is because the compressed air in the tank can be used to meet the demand without the need for the compressor to run continuously. It reduces the frequency of motor cycling, which can improve energy efficiency and prolong the motor’s lifespan.
3. Pressure Stability: A larger tank helps maintain stable pressure during usage. When the compressor is running, it fills the tank until it reaches a specified pressure level, known as the cut-out pressure. As the air is consumed from the tank, the pressure drops to a certain level, known as the cut-in pressure, at which point the compressor restarts to refill the tank. A larger tank size results in a slower pressure drop during usage, ensuring more consistent and stable pressure for the connected tools or equipment.
4. Duty Cycle: The duty cycle refers to the amount of time an air compressor can operate within a given time period. A larger tank size can increase the duty cycle of the compressor. The compressor can run for longer periods before reaching its duty cycle limit, reducing the risk of overheating and improving overall performance.
5. Tool Compatibility: The tank size can also impact the compatibility with certain tools or equipment. Some tools, such as high-demand pneumatic tools or spray guns, require a continuous and adequate supply of compressed air. A larger tank size ensures that the compressor can meet the air demands of such tools without causing pressure drops or affecting performance.
It is important to note that while a larger tank size offers advantages in terms of air storage and performance, it also results in a larger and heavier compressor unit. Consider the intended application, available space, and portability requirements when selecting an air compressor with the appropriate tank size.
Ultimately, the optimal tank size for an air compressor depends on the specific needs of the user and the intended application. Assess the air requirements, duty cycle, and desired performance to determine the most suitable tank size for your air compressor.
