Air tanks, the essential product to meet production peaks
A tank that is an integral part of the compressed air system
The compressed air storage tank is an integral part of the system. Its purpose is to provide storage space to meet production peaks. According to your request, the air circuit is optimized to become more efficient and operational.
Your compressor can operate without a tank. However,not having one can increase the charge and discharge cycles, which promotes compressor runaway. It depends on the fluctuation of your demands.
The air receivers are a buffer mechanism between the compressor and the fluctuating pressure caused by changing demand.
Design
Your compressor determines the size of your air tank
It is imperative to ensure that the tank is properly sized for the application you wish to make of it.
In order not to make a mistake, it is necessary to know if you have a variable speed compressor or a fixed one.
Variable speed compressor versus fixed speed compressor, it changes everything
In the case of a variable speed compressor, it is preferable to use a smaller compressed air receiver.
Conversely, the use of a fixed speed compressor requires larger tank volumes in order to reduce the need for compressor shutdowns and restarts. This reduces wear and tear and improves energy efficiency.
