õhutanki

õhutanki is an Estonian term that translates to "air tank" or "compressed air tank." It refers to a container designed to hold and store compressed air. These tanks are essential components in various applications where a readily available supply of pressurized air is required. õhutankid are typically constructed from robust materials such as steel or aluminum to withstand the significant pressures they contain. Safety features, like pressure relief valves, are usually integrated to prevent over-pressurization.

The uses of õhutankid are widespread. In industrial settings, they are vital for powering pneumatic tools, operating machinery, and in compressed air systems for manufacturing processes. For recreational activities, they are commonly found in scuba diving equipment, providing divers with breathable air underwater. They also play a crucial role in automotive maintenance, powering air wrenches and other pneumatic tools. In emergency services, such as firefighting, õhutankid are used in self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to supply firefighters with air in hazardous environments. The design and capacity of an õhutanki vary depending on its intended application and the required pressure.
