Air Receiver Tanks
Vertical Air Receiver Tanks |
Air receiver tanks are
designed to provide a supply buffer to meet short-term demand spikes that can
exceed the compressor capacity. They also serve to dampen reciprocating
compressor pulsations, separate out particles and liquids, and make the
compressed air system easier to control. In some cases, installing a larger air
receiver tank to meet occasional peak demands can even allow for the use of a
smaller compressor.
Air receivers in
compressed air systems serves the important purposes of:
·
Equalizing the pressure variation from the
start/stop and modulating sequence of the compressor
·
Storage of air volume equalizing
the variation in consumption and demand from the system
·
Collecting condensate and water
in the air after the compressor
