Other functions of an air vessel :
1. Reduces the possibility of separation and cavitation.
2. Allows pump to run at high speed.
3. Suction head can be increased by increasing the length of pipe below air vessel.
4. Large amount of power is saved due to low acceleration head.
5. Uniform discharge.

Air vessels are used in a reciprocating pump to reduce pulsation in the discharge flow i.e. uniform discharge!
