Air Receivers

It serves as a reservoirto take care of sudden or unusually heavy demands for air in excess of the compressor's designed capacity The receivertank will help remove water from the system by allowing the air a chance to cool. It damps pulsations from the discharge line of a reciprocating compressor, resulting in an essentially steady tlow of air in the system. It prevents the excessive cycling of a compressor. It knocks out solid dirt and particulate matterthat may have passed through the compressor inlet tllter or may be formed by compressor wear. It precipitates out contaminates and oil carry-overtrom the compressor oil that might get into the compressor discharge It helps cool the compressed air and precipitates out moisture that inevitably results from air compression
