Compressed Air Tanks
Compressed Air Tanks
An air receiver tank receives and stores compressed air after it exits the air compressor. This creates a reserve of compressed air that you can draw on without running your air compressor. A compressed air storage tank is a type of pressure vessel. An air receiver holds compressed air under pressure for future use.
Air Receiver Tank
A compressed air receiver tank has three main functions in a compressed air system
- Provides a steady air signal to compressor controls
- Stores compressed air for short, high-demand events
- It can also be used as a ''wet tank'', increasing the efficiency of your air dryer

Frequently asked questions about Compressed Air Tanks
What compressor do you need to spray paint?
You need an oil-free compressor to spray paint. When the compressor is oil-free, you don't have to worry that residual oil can get into the paint or lacquer. To spray paint, you also need a compressor that provides enough compressed air for your paint sprayer.
What does a compressor consume?
A compressor uses less energy thanks to energy-saving components. A compressor consumes little power if it runs on 220 volts or 400 volts power.
Which compressor is best to use?
Which compressor is best to use is different for each application. If you want to spray paint, it is best to use an oil-free compressor. If you are going to use heavy air tools, then a piston compressor is best to use.
Are there quiet compressors?
Yes, there are quiet compressors. These low-noise compressors are quiet thanks to special materials that dampen vibrations, noises and noise. Silent compressors make no more noise than 67 db(A).
How long can a compressor run?
A compressor can run for a long time as long as there is enough compressed air in the boiler. When the tank is empty, the compressor will kick on to build up compressed air in the boiler again. After this, the compressor can run for a long time again.
A compressor with or without oil?
A compressor with or without oil is different for each application. If you are going to spray paint then you will want a compressor without oil. Are you using Heavy Duty pneumatic tools then you want a compressor with oil.
