frequently asked questions
1. What is an Air Receiver Tank?
An Air Receiver Tank is a pressure vessel used to store compressed air from an air compressor. It acts as a buffer between the compressor and the air distribution system, helping maintain stable pressure, reduce compressor cycling, and improve overall compressed air system efficiency.
KRR Engineering manufactures Air Receiver Tanks for industrial compressed air systems with strong focus on safety, durability, code compliance, and long service life.
2. What is the difference between an Air Receiver Tank and an Air Volume Tank?
An Air Receiver Tank is generally used in compressed air systems to receive and store air from the compressor. An Air Volume Tank is also a compressed air storage vessel, but the term is often used for larger-capacity industrial air storage applications where air volume balancing, pressure stabilization, and process continuity are important.
At KRR Engineering, both Air Receiver Tanks and Air Volume Tanks are designed based on customer requirements such as capacity, design pressure, operating pressure, temperature, orientation, nozzle configuration, and applicable codes.
3. Why is an Air Receiver Tank required in a compressed air system?
An Air Receiver Tank is required to:
-
Store compressed air for peak demand
-
Reduce frequent compressor start-stop cycles
-
Stabilize pressure fluctuations
-
Improve compressor efficiency
-
Help separate moisture from compressed air
-
Provide emergency air reserve for critical operations.
4. How do I select the right size of Air Receiver Tank?
The size of an Air Receiver Tank depends on compressor capacity, air demand pattern, operating pressure, pressure drop allowance, and application type. A commonly used thumb rule is around 3–5 gallons of storage per CFM of compressor capacity, or approximately 10–15 litres per litre/second of compressed air flow, depending on system design and duty cycle.
KRR Engineering can manufacture Air Receiver Tanks and Air Volume Tanks as per customer datasheet, including required volume, pressure rating, material, nozzle details, and inspection requirements.
5. What materials are used for Air Receiver Tanks?
Air Receiver Tanks are commonly manufactured using carbon steel pressure vessel plates such as SA 516 Gr.70 or equivalent materials, depending on design code, pressure, temperature, corrosion allowance, and customer specification.
KRR Engineering can manufacture air tanks using suitable pressure vessel-grade materials with proper welding, NDT, hydrotesting, painting, documentation, and third-party inspection as required.
6. Are KRR Air Receiver Tanks ASME certified?
KRR Engineering manufactures pressure vessels with strong code-based engineering and quality control systems. Based on project requirements, KRR can manufacture ASME code-compliant Air Receiver Tanks and pressure vessels with applicable inspection, documentation, and certification support.
KRR’s manufacturing strength includes pressure vessel design, heavy fabrication, qualified welding procedures, NDT, hydrotesting, blasting, painting, and complete quality documentation.
7. What is the difference between vertical and horizontal Air Receiver Tanks?
Vertical Air Receiver Tanks are preferred where floor space is limited. They occupy less ground area and are commonly used in compressor rooms and compact industrial layouts.
Horizontal Air Receiver Tanks are preferred where height restriction exists or where the tank needs to be mounted on saddles for easy access, maintenance, or skid integration.
KRR Engineering manufactures both vertical and horizontal Air Receiver Tanks based on site layout, capacity, pressure rating, and customer installation requirements.
8. How often should an Air Receiver Tank be drained?
Air Receiver Tanks should be drained regularly to remove accumulated condensate and moisture. The draining frequency depends on compressor usage, humidity, air dryer performance, and plant operating conditions. Regular draining helps prevent internal corrosion and improves compressed air quality.
KRR can provide Air Receiver Tanks with suitable drain nozzles, inspection openings, pressure gauge connections, safety valve nozzles, and other accessories as per project requirement.
9. What safety accessories are required for an Air Receiver Tank?
Typical safety and operating accessories for an Air Receiver Tank include:
-
Pressure safety valve
-
Pressure gauge
-
Drain valve
-
Inlet and outlet nozzles
-
