Vertical air receiver, galvanised 1,000 L 13 bar

Description

Vertical steel air receiver, hot-dip galvanised inside and out. The zinc protects the steel from corrosion even when the compressed air is wet: the right choice without a dryer upstream, in damp workshops or in a sheltered outdoor installation. It costs a little more, but lasts much longer. Capacity: 1,000 litres. Working pressure: 13 bar. Connections to be confirmed with us when ordering.

Choosing the volume

The volume depends on the compressor's air flow, the workshop's consumption and the difference between the cut-out pressure and the cut-in pressure. An air receiver that is too small makes the compressor start too often; a larger air receiver smooths out consumption peaks. Our receiver size calculator gives a first estimate.

Installation and inspections

Even when galvanised, the air receiver must be drained regularly: the water that builds up reduces the usable volume and eventually passes into the network. An automatic drain at the lowest point solves the problem. A compressed air receiver is pressure equipment: depending on its volume and pressure, it is subject to periodic inspections. Our guide on air receiver regulations summarises the obligations.
