Compressed air receiver tanks matching air compressor

Often times, we find people are debating whether or not to buy Compressed air receiver tanks. It’s a question frequently occurs no matter you’re installing a new compressed air system or you’re running some air compressors currently. To solve this trouble problem, we have to have some basic knowledge about the primary role of Compressed air receiver tanks.

Compressed air receiver tanks

Air receiver tanks, also known as pressure vessels, are designed to provide a supply buffer to meet demand spikes during periods of high usage by gathering air. Absolutely essential to any compressed air system, air receiver tanks not only serve as temporary storage, but they also allow your system to perform more efficiently. The tanks enable you to use air when the compressor is not running.

Compressed air receiver tanks

The most important purpose of air receiver tanks is to offer air storage capacity when high demand events appear. Usually it lasts only a few minutes. This could be a production worker sandblasting to someone using a blowgun to quickly clean themselves. Air receiver tanks work in a similar manner to a battery. They allow you to use a smaller horsepower compressor to complete a larger task by making use of stored energy.

With a compressed air receiver tank, you can easily manage the fluctuations in your pipeline. It helps avoid short cycling and over-pressurization.

The air tank also acts as an added heat exchanger because as compressed air passes through it, the temperature is lowered nearly 10 degrees below. This allows moisture to condense and drain out of the valve at the bottom of the tank. Thus the dryer becomes more efficient because less moisture and particulate will pass through it.

KingBull air tank features durable steel construction painted with an exterior primer. To ensure safety and provide convenience, a safety valve, pressure gauge and tank drain are strongly recommended to install.
