Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the |
|
|
| |||
|
|
| ||||
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of |
|
|
| |||
each use. |

Check Valve: | When the air compressor is operating, the |

check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter |
|
|

|
|

the air tank. When the air compressor reaches |

pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air |

pressure to remain inside the air tank. |
