35 Gallon Air Receiver wing tank

This ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) certified Air Receiver Tank is the standard in the mobile compressed air industry.

95lbs (43kg) 73 3/4" (L) x 14" (W) 14" Diameter Each tank comes complete with fittings and a pressure gauge

The air receiver is used to meet heavy, short time demands of certain equipment.  Typically, a VMAC rotary screw compressor is designed for 100% duty cycle and the use of a receiver is not needed for air demands.

There is always a difference between ambient and the discharge air temperatures.  As soon as the warmer discharge air contacts the cooler steel walls of the tank, the moisture starts to condense out of the compressed air.  This can reduce the amount of downstream moisture traveling to your tools.  Use of an after-cooler, Filter-Regulator-Lubricator or air dryer will also remove moisture from the air.

The moisture condensing in the tank will need to be drained from time to time to prevent rust and scale deposits.  These deposits may cause air blockage problems and damage components.

All applications can benefit by the installation of air receiver tanks.  It is generally accepted that no receiver is too large for an application and no number of receivers are too many.  The installation of either a vertical or horizontal tank depends on the physical space available.
