An air receiver is a crucial component in compressed air systems, serving as a storage tank that helps regulate air pressure, reduce load fluctuations, and improve system efficiency. It allows compressed air to cool, condensing moisture and reducing strain on downstream equipment. Air receivers come in horizontal or vertical designs and are made from durable materials like carbon steel or stainless steel to withstand high pressure. They are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and power plants. Regular maintenance, including drainage of accumulated moisture and pressure checks, ensures safe operation and prolongs the tank’s lifespan.
