Right selection and location of the vertical-type receiver tank is crucial for efficient compressed air systems. They are used for storage and reinforcing the overall network. Specifically, receiver tanks are utilized as buffer to dampen the system pressure fluctuations (i.e. sudden demands). Additionally, they are beneficial in keeping the compressor running more smoothly instead of frequent onloading-offloading of the compressor.
