ELGi Airmate Air Receiver

ELGi Airmate Air Receivers work by storing compressed air produced by an air compressor and serving several essential functions:

Storage: ELGi Airmate air receiver tanks are primarily designed to store compressed air generated by ELGi air compressors. When an ELGi air compressor operates, it produces compressed air at a specific pressure and flow rate. Excess compressed air is directed into the air compressor air receiver tank for storage.

Buffering and Stabilizing: The Airmate air receiver tank acts as a buffer between the air compressor and the downstream compressed air system. It helps stabilise the pressure and flow of compressed air by absorbing fluctuations caused by the compressor's cycling on and off. This ensures a steady and consistent supply of compressed air to various applications.

Condensate Separation: Compressed air often contains moisture in the form of condensed water vapor. Inside the Airmate air receiver tank, this moisture has an opportunity to settle and separate from the compressed air. The tank is equipped with a drain valve at the bottom, allowing accumulated condensate to be periodically removed, ensuring that the compressed air remains dry and clean.

Emergency Supply: In situations where the air compressor experiences a malfunction, scheduled maintenance, or downtime, the receiver tank serves as a reserve of compressed air. This emergency supply can prevent production interruptions and keep essential processes running smoothly.

Cooling: As compressed air is stored in the air receiver tank, it has a chance to cool down. Cooler air can hold less moisture, reducing the risk of condensation downstream in the air distribution system. This cooling effect contributes to maintaining the quality of compressed air.

Energy Efficiency: ELGi air receiver tanks can improve the overall energy efficiency of a compressed air system by reducing the frequency of start-stop cycles of the air compressor. This energy-saving feature can result in lower operating costs for your compressed air system.
