Re: Placing a Tank after a solenoid valve
Mechanically locking a cylinder and keeping the valve open won't do anything.
Once you have 60 psi air in the area of the cylinder it can fill it will stop flowing. Adding low pressure volume does nothing but make your compressor work harder for no reason. The reason you have high pressure storage is the change in volume of the air as it expands to a lower pressure acts as energy storage. Without the expansion just oure volume does nothing.
Please rethink your plan and consult a mentor that has some experience in fluid dynamics.
