Air receiver tanks are designed to provide a supply buffer to meet short-term demand spikes that can exceed the compressor capacity. They also serve to dampen reciprocating compressor pulsations, separate out particles and liquids, and make the compressed air system easier to control. In some cases, installing a larger air receiver tank to meet occasional peak demands can even allow for the use of a smaller compressor.
Air receivers in compressed air systems serves the important purposes of:
• Decrease wear and tear on the compression module, capacity control system and motor by reducing excessive compressor cycling.• Eliminate pulsations from the discharge line.• Separate some of the moisture, oil and solid particles that might be present from the air as it comes from the compressor or that may be carried over from the aftercooler.• Help reduce dew point and temperature spikes that follow regeneration.• Offer additional storage capacity made to compensate for surges in compressed air usage.• Contribute to reduce energy costs by minimizing electric demand charges associated with excessive starting of the compressor motor.It is good for motor lifespan increasing.
