Air storage
An air storage tank is a vessel-type containment device designed for storing compressed air. Since ambient air contains moisture, compressed and heated air undergoes increased density, leading to partial water condensation. This moisture adheres to the tank walls through cooling effects, necessitating standard drainage valves on such tanks.

Storage tanks (or reservoirs) refer to equipment primarily used for containing gaseous, liquid, or liquefied substances, widely applied across industries including chemical processing, petroleum, energy, light industry, environmental protection, pharmaceuticals, and food production. Common examples include hydrogen tanks, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) tanks, petroleum reservoirs, and liquid ammonia vessels. Internal pressure in these tanks is directly temperature-dependent, and stored media are often flammable, explosive, or toxic. Structural configurations primarily include horizontal, vertical, and spherical storage tanks.
Additionally, air storage tanks serve critical functions in pneumatic systems:
