Kaeser 2000l Air receiver tank

• Storing compressed air for industrial processes, ensuring a stable and consistent supply.
• Buffering demand peaks in compressed air systems, reducing compressor cycling.
• Separating condensate and impurities from compressed air before distribution.
• Providing a safety reserve of compressed air for critical operations during compressor downtime.
• Integrating into various manufacturing, workshop, and processing environments requiring pneumatic power.

Typical capacity

Air receivers in this class commonly range from 1000 to 5000 litres, with 2000 litres being a frequently encountered size.

Typical operating pressure

Units of this type are typically rated for working pressures between 8 and 13 bar, with 11 bar being common.

Maximum operating temperature

For this class of equipment, maximum operating temperatures are commonly around 50°C.

Material of construction

Air receivers are typically constructed from carbon steel, designed to withstand internal pressure.

Connection types

Commonly features standard threaded or flanged connections for inlet, outlet, and drain points.

Footprint

The footprint for a 2000L vertical receiver typically requires approximately 1-1.5 square metres of floor space, plus clearance.

• Why is an air receiver tank important for a compressed air system?

  An air receiver tank stores compressed air, stabilises system pressure, and reduces the number of load/unload cycles of the compressor, extending its lifespan and improving energy efficiency.

• What maintenance is typically required for an air receiver tank?

• Does this unit require a power supply?

• What certifications or inspections should I look for with a used air receiver?

• Can this tank be used with any brand of air compressor?

Used air compressors are valued for their durability and cost-effectiveness in industrial applications. Buyers typically prioritise checking maintenance history, motor condition, and tank integrity, as these significantly affect performance and longevity. Industry sentiment favours established brands known for reliability. Common strengths include robust construction, long operational lifespan when properly maintained, and substantial savings compared to new equipment. Prospective purchasers should verify pressure ratings and output capacity match their operational requirements before committing to purchase.
