A compressed air storage vessel that stabilises output pressure, eliminates pipeline air flow pulsation, pre-cools the air and lets part of the liquid water precipitate. Made of high-quality carbon steel or stainless steel with advanced welding technology, and ISO 9001 certified.
Raydafon air receiver tank — carbon steel or stainless steel, ISO 9001 certified
The air receiver tank plays four essential roles in a compressed air system: buffering peak demand, smoothing pressure pulsation, pre-cooling and precipitating moisture, and enabling the compressor to shut down automatically when the tank is full at set pressure.
Store air to meet the sudden and instantaneous increase in air consumption from downstream equipment.
Store air and smooth out the pulsation of air flow in the pipeline for stable system pressure.
Pre-cool the air and allow part of the liquid water to precipitate. The tank must be drained regularly.
When the tank is full at set pressure, the compressor shuts down automatically — avoiding continuous running and wasted electricity.
Theoretically, the larger the tank, the better — because a larger tank reduces the number of frequent compressor starts. The optimum size depends on the compressor start type and the stability of your air consumption profile.
Star-delta start is a power frequency start with starting current around 7 times the rated current. Frequent starts damage the compressor's electrical parts, shorten their life, and put a heavy impact on the power grid, affecting other electrical equipment. A larger tank is strongly recommended.
A variable frequency air compressor uses soft start with starting current around 2 times the rated current, so the impact is much smaller. VFD compressors tolerate a smaller tank, but the tank still plays an important role in stabilising pressure and removing moisture.
Since the load range of an air compressor is relatively wide, frequent start/stop cycles increase valve wear and make the oil and gas circuits unstable. Fitting a properly sized tank reduces this situation significantly.
Frequent starts consume very high motor current. With a properly sized air receiver tank, the compressor runs more stably and no-load running time is reduced, avoiding unnecessary waste of idling energy.
With a tank in the system, the compressor's output air has a buffer zone. The air source can be better maintained at the set value, giving the system a constant pressure — essential for modern factories.
Compressed air from the compressor first enters the tank, where it stays for a period of time. Impurities and moisture can precipitate, and the air temperature drops. Even without a refrigerated dryer, relatively high-quality air can be delivered.
