Air tanks for compressor

An air receiver is a tank installed between the compressed air supply module and the consumer. It serves to accumulate, temporarily store and further use air. Such air collectors can be part of a compressor unit or used as a buffer on pneumatic pipelines.

Purpose of air receivers

The air receiver tank can be used to solve the following technical problems:

• cleaning compressed air from oil vapors and condensate;
• ensuring air reserves for peak loads;
• smoothing out pressure surges in pneumatic lines;
• uninterrupted supply of compressed air when the compressor is switched off or a consumer with higher productivity is connected;
• reducing energy consumption – when there is a periodic need for compressed air, it is supplied from the receiver, without turning the compressor on and off.

Types of receivers for compressors and their characteristics

There are two types of air tanks for compressors: vertical and horizontal. They can have different purposes and characteristics, the main ones being:

• volume;
• working pressure;
• diameter and height (length for horizontal models);
• wall thickness.

The design and operation of air compressor receiver tanks

The main elements in the design of an air compressor tank are:

• a shell and two bottoms;
• four supports;
• mounting brackets or corners;
• inlet and outlet pipes;
• valves: safety and check valves;
• pressure gauge;
• condensate and oil drain tap.

The operating principle of the air receiver is simple:

• air is pumped into the tank through the inlet pipe;
• the pressure level is controlled by a pressure gauge;
• oil and condensate settle on the walls of the tank, drying the air;
• air is supplied to the consumer through the outlet pipe.
