Compressed Air Receivers for Plant Utility Systems
50 to 5,000 litre carbon steel compressed air receivers, code-stamped and fitted with safety valve, pressure gauge and drain valve, for plant utility air systems. A correctly sized receiver protects downstream pneumatic instrumentation and actuators from pressure fluctuations that a compressor alone cannot smooth out.
Why a Receiver Matters
A receiver dampens the pulsations from a compressor, stores reserve compressed air to meet peak demand without the compressor needing to cycle constantly, and lets moisture settle out before it reaches downstream instrumentation and pneumatic equipment. This extends the life of valves, actuators and control systems fed by the compressed air line and reduces unplanned maintenance.
Safety Fittings
Every receiver is supplied complete with a safety relief valve to prevent over-pressurisation, a pressure gauge for operator monitoring, and a drain valve for periodically removing condensate, and is built to the applicable pressure vessel code with material and hydro-test certificates provided at dispatch.
Sizing Guidance
Receiver size should be matched to the compressor output and peak instantaneous air demand rather than just average consumption. An undersized receiver causes pressure drops during demand spikes, while an oversized one is simply an avoidable capital cost.
Frequently asked questions
- What capacity range is available?
- 50 litres for small utility loops up to 5,000 litres for plant-wide compressed air systems, in carbon steel or stainless steel construction.
- Is the receiver code-stamped?
- Yes, receivers are built and tested to the applicable pressure vessel code, with material and hydro-test certificates provided at the time of dispatch.
- What safety fittings come standard with the receiver?
- Every unit ships with a safety relief valve, pressure gauge and drain valve fitted as standard, meeting typical plant utility safety requirements.
