Compressed Air receiver tanks are designed to provide a supply buffer to meet short-term demand spikes that can exceed the compressor capacity. Can also serve to dampen reciprocating compressor pulsations, and separate out particles and liquids. All this makes the compressed air system easier to control.
Installing a larger air receiver tank to meet occasional peak demands can even allow for the use of a smaller air compressor.
There are commonly two different air receivers in a compressed air system:
Located near the compressor, after the after-cooler but before filtration and drying equipment.
Usually located close to points of larger intermittent air consumptions, air receivers in compressed air systems serve the important purposes of:
• Equalising the pressure variation from the start/stop and modulating sequence of the compressor.
• Storage of air volume equalising the variation in consumption and demand from the system.
• Collecting condensate and water in the air after the compressor.
