USAGE OVERVIEW
⸺ Purpose
Air receivers store compressed air as a buffer, ensuring a stable supply for pneumatic equipment and regulating system pressure.
⸺ Pressure Regulation
They absorb demand variations and control pressure drops, providing consistent air pressure to the system.
⸺ Volume and Size
Air receivers vary in size, measured in gallons or cubic feet, based on application and system requirements.
⸺ Construction and Design
Tanks are built with materials like carbon or stainless steel, meeting pressure ratings and safety standards. They may have welded seams, internal coatings, and external insulation.
⸺ Safety Features
Air receivers include safety features like pressure relief valves, pressure gauges, drain valves, and inspection openings for safe operation and maintenance.
⸺ Maintenance and Testing
Regular maintenance, inspections, and testing ensure safe and efficient operation, including corrosion checks, pressure relief valve function verification, and moisture/contaminant removal. Periodic pressure testing may be necessary.
