Compressed air system comprises many components. Appropriate selection of each component is vital for system efficiency.

One such component is the air receiver. The receiver is installed on the downstream of the compressor. Though the term receiver is commonly used , it’s a storage tank that receives compressed air from the compressor and pushes it downstream into the network.

From an energy efficiency standpoint, the right sizing of the receiver and location is quite important. The process parameters are also influenced by the sizing and location. Yet , there are instances of ignorance resulting in loss to the organisation. However, this goes unnoticed.

In this episode , I am talking about the air receiver and it’s important role in maintaining compressed air system efficiency.
