Compressed Air Receiver

Compressed Air Receiver

Introduction

A Compressed Air Receiver is an essential component in any industrial compressed air system. It acts as a buffer and storage vessel that supports stable air delivery, reduces system pulsations, and ensures smooth compressor performance. Our receivers are engineered with precision and manufactured according to globally recognized standards to deliver safe, efficient, and dependable performance across multiple industrial applications.

Product Description

Our Compressed Air Receivers (Vertical & Horizontal) are designed as per ASME Section VIII Division 1, IS 2825, or PED 2014/68/EU standards to meet the highest levels of safety and durability. These pressure vessels play a critical role in air storage, pressure stabilisation, moisture removal, and system energy optimization. Each air receiver is engineered with a robust construction, premium-grade materials, and exceptional welding quality, ensuring long trouble-free operation in demanding industrial environments.

Functional Advantages:
  • •

    Air Storage

    Acts as a reservoir to store compressed air and handle peak consumption without frequent compressor start/stop cycles.

  • •

    Pressure Stabilization

    Absorbs pulsations from reciprocating compressors and ensures stable downstream pressure.

  • •

    Moisture Removal

    Cooling of compressed air inside the receiver helps naturally condense moisture, improving air quality before it reaches filters and dryers.

  • •

    Energy Efficiency

    Optimizes compressor duty cycle, resulting in energy savings and reduced wear & tear.

Optional Packages:
  • •

    Skid-mounted system with:

    • ✔ Air dryer
    • ✔ Filters (Pre-filter / Microfilter)
    • ✔ Drain systems
    • ✔ Flow meters
    • ✔ Control panel
  • • ASME U-Stamp certification (for export projects)
  • • Pressure testing report package (Hydro / Pneumatic test)
  • • Radiographic Testing (RT) / Ultrasonic Testing (UT) on welds
  • • Third-party inspection (TUV / Lloyds / BV / DNV / SGS)
Quality Assurance:

Each compressed air receiver undergoes:

  • • 100% Radiography (on request)
  • • Hydro Testing at 1.3 to 1.5 times the design pressure
  • • Dimensional checks
  • • Weld visual inspection
  • • Material Test Certificates (MTC)
