Air Receiver Tank

Product Description

An air receiver tank, also known as an air compressor tank or air storage tank, is a pressure vessel used in compressed air systems. Its primary function is to store compressed air produced by an air compressor. Here are some of the main roles and benefits of an air receiver tank:

1. Air Storage

The tank stores air under pressure, which helps to maintain a constant supply of air to the system, even when the compressor is not actively running. This can help to smooth out fluctuations in demand and prevent the compressor from cycling on and off frequently.

2. Pressure Stabilization

It helps in maintaining stable pressure within the system, absorbing pressure surges and preventing damaging pressure spikes.

3. Condensation Control

As air is compressed, it typically cools and causes moisture to condense. The air receiver tank provides a space for the moisture to settle before the air reaches the tools or equipment, reducing the chances of water damage.

4. Improved Efficiency

By allowing the compressor to run more efficiently, it minimizes wear and tear on the compressor. This reduces energy consumption and extends the lifespan of the compressor.

5. Flow Regulation

It helps to ensure a consistent flow of compressed air, improving system performance and preventing interruptions or inefficiencies in air delivery.

Key Components of an Air Receiver Tank:

• Inlet valve: Allows compressed air to enter the tank.
• Outlet valve: Lets the compressed air flow from the tank to the system.
• Pressure relief valve: Ensures safety by releasing air if the pressure inside the tank exceeds the safe limit.
• Drain valve: Used to remove condensed moisture that collects at the bottom of the tank.
• Pressure gauge: Monitors the internal pressure of the tank.
• Manual drain or automatic drain system: Removes moisture that builds up inside the tank due to the compression process.

Sizing an Air Receiver Tank:

The size of the air receiver tank is generally based on the compressor's capacity and the specific needs of the air system. It is essential to choose the right tank size to balance cost, energy efficiency, and performance.
