2. 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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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).

8. 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.

9. 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.
