õhupaagiks

Õhupaak is an Estonian term that translates to "air tank" or "air vessel" in English. It refers to a container designed to hold compressed air. These tanks are used in a variety of applications where a supply of pressurized air is required.

The primary function of an õhupaak is to store air at a pressure significantly higher than atmospheric pressure. This stored energy can then be released on demand to power pneumatic tools, operate inflating systems, or serve as a breathing gas supply for divers and firefighters. The design and material of an õhupaak vary depending on its intended use and the pressure it needs to withstand. Common materials include steel, aluminum, and composite materials. Safety is a critical consideration in the design and use of õhupaagid, as they operate under pressure and can pose a hazard if damaged or misused. They are typically equipped with safety valves to prevent over-pressurization. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to ensure their safe and reliable operation.
