What Are Air Receivers? Why Are They Important?

Introduction

• The importance of having a smoothly functioning
  air receiver in any compressed air system is
  immense.
• Without the receiver, there is every chance of
  the loading unloading cycles of the compressor
  becoming larger, and more pressure being put on
  the air compressor.
• In what follows, we will discuss about air
  receivers in detail

1 What Exactly Is An Air Receiver?

• An air receiver is a tank-like system that serves
  the purpose of receiving and storing compressed
  air.
• The receiver tank maintains a reserve supply of
  compressed air that can be used later even when
  the compressor is not turned on.
• By ensuring secure temporary storage of
  compressed air, the air receiver tank bolsters
  the overall efficiency of the underlying
  compressor system.

2. Size Of Air Receivers

• Air compressor systems can be of different types
  and varieties.
• Size of Air receivers ensures that buyers can
  select the receiver that would be the most
  suitable for their requirements.
• When the right receiver is used in the
  compressor installation, peak compressed air
  demands can be met effectively, total energy
  consumption.

3. Maximum Pressure Of Air Receiver Tanks

• The pressure in an air receiver tank plays a key
  role in determining its usability.
• The maximum pressure of the air receiver should
  ideally be in sync with the precise requirements
  at the concerned industrial facility.
• In fact, it is important to track when the
  maximum pressure level in the receiver tank is
  reached and the excess pressure has to be
  released.

4. Air Receivers Boost The Operational Efficiency
Of Compressed Air Systems

• Air compressors typically work in cycles.
• During operation cycles, there can be significant
  losses/wastage of compressed air output (for
  instance, at the time of venting in rotary screw
  air compressors).
• The receiver also has the capability to remove
  excess moisture from the system, air dryer
  efficiency goes up as well, and energy savings
  get an additional boost.

5. The Need For Dry and Wet Compressed Air
Storage

• Based on the nature of industrial applications,
  users can require dry or wet air storage in
  the compressed form.
• While both wet and dry compressed air storage
  systems have their respective advantages, a
  combination of the two is considered in many
  industrial applications.
• The ratio of dry to wet capacity has to be
  determined carefully (generally two-thirds dry
  capacity and one-third wet capacity).

6. Air Receivers Boost The Longevity Of
Compressed Air Systems

• Air receivers designed by the top compressed air
  suppliers are customised as per buyer
  requirements.
• Air receivers keep the overall maintenance
  requirements low, and frequent air compressor
  repairs are not necessitated.
• The receiver tanks can also remove unwanted
  particulate matter, dirt, and other contaminants
  from the inlet filter.

7. Maintenance Of Air Receiver Tanks

• For starters, air receivers with proper product
  quality certifications should be used and the
  pressure gauge of the receiver tank should be
  properly functioning.
• It is important to inspect the receiver vessel
  regularly and make sure that there are no
  cracks, seam stresses, and/or other wall damages.
  
• Leading air compressor suppliers in India have
  different varieties of air receivers in their
  portfolio customised to meet the varying
  requirements of the underlying applications.
