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.
This equipment can optimize and improve your compressed air system while maintaining consistent airflow, especially at the point of use. Your efficiency baseline will skyrocket compared to not having any storage installed.
Not only does this equipment ensure more consistent and reliable airflow, but it also benefits the system by reducing the overall workload required to reach demand. Rather than focusing on keeping up with point-of-use demand, the system must ensure that the storage has enough compressed air to fulfill the demand for a given period (depending on your individual operations schedule). The reserve air needed for your compressed air system depends on your production demand.
Whether you are sizing a 30-gallon Air compressor tank or a much larger one, the ideal setup for your compressed air storage is split storage between your wet and dry air. Your split will be ⅓ wet and ⅔ dry air storage. So, if you have 600 gallons of storage, you will have 200 gallons of wet air storage and 400 gallons of storage after the dryer. This helps ease the load on your dryer and compressor while providing compressed air that is available whenever needed.
A good rule of thumb for compressed air storage is to have 3-4 Gallons of storage for every CFM you have; if you use metric, that would be 10-15 liters for each CFM of compressed air. This should differ from what you use to determine your air needs, but knowing what size tank you might need while shopping is good.
Considering this framework, let’s insert our 30-gallon air tank into the equation. That means we are working with a max of 45CFM or 90CFM for the system, depending on whether it is classified as wet or dry storage.
If you only plan on using one 30-gallon compressed air tank, your system should only use about 6-10CFM and erring on the side of 6 to keep your equipment manageable.
If your compressed air demand experiences spikes and dips during production, it is vital to make sure 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 can reduce the energy consumption of your air compressor. The compressor will shut off when the receiver is complete and will not cut back on till the tank has reached a specific
Compressed air storage can act as an emergency buffer. It allows you to 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.
