WHY AIR RECEIVER TANKS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM
An air receiver tank is an integral part of any compressed air system. A properly sized and installed air receiver acts as a temporary storage to buffer between the compressor and the fluctuating pressure caused by the changing demand. Without a receiver tank installed in your air system, your compressor load and unload cycles will be very high and thus cause your compressor to work very hard. An air receiver - minimizes pressure fluctuation in your air system; it provides storage to meet short term peak air demands that the compressor cannot meet; it helps to reduce energy consumption of your compressed air system by enabling load/unload (fixed speed) compressors to operate on a longer cycle and with tighter pressure bands. It optimizes the running efficiency of your plant.
