Compressed Air Tanks

Compressed Air Tanks

An air receiver tank receives and stores compressed air after it exits the air compressor. This creates a reserve of compressed air that you can draw on without running your air compressor. A compressed air storage tank is a type of pressure vessel. An air receiver holds compressed air under pressure for future use.

Air Receiver Tank

A compressed air receiver tank has three main functions in a compressed air system

• Provides a steady air signal to compressor controls
• Stores compressed air for short, high-demand events
• It can also be used as a ''wet tank'', increasing the efficiency of your air dryer
