Compressed Air Tanks, or Compressed Air Receivers, are a vital and often overlooked part of a healthy and complete compressed air system. Spare compressed air increases rest periods for your compressors and compressed air treatment equipment.
By having a 500 gallon air compressor tank, you 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 it could be detrimental to your hoses and point-of-use equipment. Having tanks in place can ensure that you always have consistent airflow.
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 being focused on keeping up with point-of-use demand, the system just needs to make sure that the storage has enough compressed air to fulfill the demand for a given period (depending on your individual operations schedule). The amount of reserve air that will be needed for your compressed air system is dependent on your production demand.
A good rule of thumb for compressed air storage is to have 3-4 Gallons of storage for every CFM you have. Using the metric system would be 10-15 liters for each CFM of compressed air, although you likely will never need to know that conversion if you are based in the US.
The 500 gallon air compressor tank comes in different options and sizes, with options available to fit your specific needs. Whether you need a vertical tank to reduce horizontal space or have a limited ceiling and need a horizontal tank, there are options to fit your needs. The equipment used to stabilize the tank will be dependent on its orientation. Vertical tanks will have a base ring, and horizontal tanks have two pairs of saddle legs, one on each side, to secure the air tank properly.
Various options are available alongside different air receiver orientations depending on the pressure that your product requires. From lower-pressure to high-pressure applications, an option is available to suit your needs.
If your compressed air demand experiences spikes and dips during production, it is important 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 full 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.
