Air Receiver
High-capacity air storage solutions designed to optimize compressor efficiency, stabilize pressure fluctuations, and deliver reliable pneumatic power across industrial applications.
About Air Receivers
Air Receivers are essential components in compressed air systems, designed to store compressed air, stabilize pressure fluctuations, and ensure a consistent air supply to downstream equipment. They help improve system efficiency by reducing compressor cycling, minimizing energy consumption, and extending the lifespan of pneumatic equipment.

Sizing the Air Receiver
Air receivers are generally sized keeping in mind the following factors:
Fluctuation/Variation in Consumption and Demand
The system must account for variable load patterns throughout operation.
Compressor Capacity and Distribution Required
The receiver must match the compressor output and system demand characteristics.
The maximum consumption in the distribution system is the sum of the consumption of individual components. The summarized consumption must be multiplied with a usage factor ranging 0.1 – 1 depending on the system.
For determining the receiver size, a pressure bandwidth is necessary. If we assume the average consumption in a system is 150 psi and the compressor is set at 150 psi, any increase in load will result in a pressure drop since the response time in the system is not accounted for. A factor of safety for fluctuation in the system should be considered, thus a pressure bandwidth is required.
If the compressor operates at 160 psig, the difference between 150 psig and 160 psig accounts for the air stored in the receiver. If the demand increases, the pressure can drop 10 psig before the minimum requirement is met. Pressure and flow controllers can be used after the receiver for stabilizing downstream pressure to 150 psig and flattening demand peaks. Note that in a compressed air system, the pipework also serves the purpose of a buffered volume.
Receiver Volume Calculation Formula:
t = V(p₁ - p₂) / (C × pₐ)
Where:
V = Volume of the receiver tank (cu ft)
t = Time for receiver to go from upper to lower pressure limits (min)
C = Free air needed (scfm)
pₐ = Atmospheric pressure (14.7 psia)
p₁ = Maximum tank pressure (psia)
p₂ = Minimum tank pressure (psia)
It is also common to size receivers 4 gallons per compressor hp (horse power).
