15 Gallon Compressed Air Solutions

If you are looking for an Air Compressor with a 15-gallon air tank attached, you will be disappointed with the results. Our 15-gallon air tanks are all stand-alone units, and our compressors will need to be mounted on tanks much larger than that. Even the smallest compressors we offer are mounted on 60-gallon air tanks. If you are interested in a compressor, continue here.

If you are looking for compressed air storage, you are in the right place. Warthog has the best options for all your compressed air needs, from air tanks to air compressors and moisture management.

Compressed Air Tanks, or Compressed Air Receivers, are a vital and often overlooked part of a healthy, complete compressed air system. Spare compressed air increases rest periods for your compressors and compressed air treatment equipment. Increased rest periods increase the longevity of your compressed air system. 

A 15-gallon air tank can optimize and improve the efficiency of your air system. These tanks can dampen the pulsations from the compressor because the pressure spikes will not affect storage, but they could be detrimental to your hoses and point-of-use equipment. Having tanks in place can ensure that you always have consistent airflow.

15 Gallon Air Tank Variations for Compressors:

• Tank Orientation: Vertical or Horizontal
• Max Pressure: 200PSI
• Orientation Features: Base Ring or Standing Feet

15-gallon air tanks come in a few variations to suit your system. Whether you are tight on space horizontally or vertically, you need storage near the compressor or at the point of use; our 15-gallon air tanks for air compressors are reliable, rugged, and ready for use. Including a tank in your compressed air system will benefit a system of any size, even if the tank is as small as 15 gallons. 

Most smaller compressed air tanks will be used at the point of use. They store enough compressed air for a quick burst that clears the tank and completes the process. The tank would then refill and be ready for use the next time it is needed. Smaller compressed air tanks succeed in these applications where they can completely clear and refill each time. By having a tank near the application, you can remove any excess moisture that may have accumulated after drying before the air exits the system.

Air Receiver Considerations For Air Compressors:

Additional considerations for compressed air systems vary widely. These adjustments result from experience and past errors in the compressed air system. Some suggestions will work in one system but only help with a portion or have zero effect in another. Everything will depend on your environment and how all variables shake out.

Compressed air demand experiences spikes and dips during the production process. It is vital to ensure that spikes do not cause the tank to dip below operating pressure by using too much air. The compressed air storage acts as a buffer during peak demand.

By including compressed air storage in your system, you reduce the energy consumed by your air compressor. The compressor will shut off when the receiver is full and will not cut back on until the tank loses a specific volume; thus, the cycle continues.

Compressed air storage acts as an emergency buffer. You can shut down the compressor if necessary without losing out on all of your production. It also allows you to finish the process in progress without ruining any of your final products.

Other things to remember with your compressed air storage are the amount of water produced by compressed air and accounting for pressure drop. Your system’s water needs depend on compressor run time and daily humidity. You may need to invest in extra moisture management if you live in a more humid area.
