Fig. 8.4: Compressed air receiver, standing | Compressed air receivers are available in sensibly graduated volume sizes. A standard size should always be chosen to save unnecessary costs for custom-made equipment.
The maximum pressure for which the receiver is designed is, for safety reasons, always at least 1 bar above the maximum pressure of the compressor. 10 bar compressors have, for instance, a compressed air receiver designed for 11 bar. The safety valve is adjusted for 11 bar.
The following table shows the sizes of compressed air receiver available for various operating pressures:
