An air compressor comprises a motor, a sleeve, a connecting rod, a piston, a valve plate, an air filter, a cover, a crankcase, an air storage tank, a plug, a cylinder head, an air tank end cap, a motor end cap, a fan, a fan cover and a safety valve. The crankcase 5 has a hole. One end of the hole communicates with a hole of the cylinder head while the other end of the hole communicates with a recess of the crankcase. The air storage tank comprises a centre void, an inner wall, an outer wall, a plurality of connecting walls and a plurality of air storage openings. The centre void serves to accommodate a motor housing. The plug is attached to a threaded hole of the outer wall. The air tank end cap is provided 10 with a plurality of recesses. The air storage opening is communicated with the recess of the crankcase and the recess of the air tank end cap. The provision of a plurality of spaces between the air tank end cap and the motor end cap. The fan is located between the motor end cap and the fan cover. The motor turns the fan to provide cooling to the internal components. The compressor is designed with an integrated storage tank. The storage tank 15 is aluminium extrusion with internal ribs to provide both conduction and convection heat dissipation when combined with the action of the cooling fan.
