I. Definition

The air receiver is used for buffering air and has a cooling function (the outlet temperature of the air compressor is about 70-80℃). Its more critical role is to initially remove water and oil. The receiver can eliminate up to 70% of oil and water, making it an indispensable piece of equipment for air compressors.

Section 2: Function

1. Air Storage: There is no storage for compressed air within an air compressor. Once the compressed air reaches the predetermined pressure, it is exhausted. By using an air receiver, finished compressed air can be stored, ensuring a more stable air supply.

2. Pressure Stability: When an air compressor is running, the air pressure is unstable and fluctuates greatly. An air storage tank can be used to control the air pressure within an appropriate range, andEliminateFlow fluctuations in the pipeline. Through the air storage tank, the compressed air output from the air compressor will have a buffer zone, which is of good quality and can maintain the set value. The gas system can achieve a relatively stable pressure.

3. Cooling Filtration: The temperature of the finished compressed air entering the air storage tank will be reduced to achieve the effect of preliminary cooling of the compressed air. At the same time, it can deposit some water and oil in the compressed air, improving the quality of the finished compressed air product.

III. Installation

1. Full-welding method: This method involves first welding the base of the tank to the foundation, then assembling and welding the annular plates of the tank wall to the base, followed by welding to the bottom plate. Subsequently, mechanical assembly is used to sequentially attach and weld the second annular wall plate to the first, welding the longitudinal seam of the second wall plate and the circumferential seam between the second wall plate and the first. This process continues in ascending order until the assembly and welding of the subsequent annular wall plates are complete. Large floating roof tanks typically use the full-welding method for construction, with automatic welding commonly employed for both wall and bottom plates.

2. Inverted Construction Method: The construction sequence of the inverted method is the opposite of the conventional method. The sequence for the inverted method is: lay the bottom plate → install the annular wall panels on the laid bottom plate → fabricate and install the tank top → lift as a whole → install the next annular wall panel → lift as a whole → continue this process from the top down until the next annular wall panel is installed.
