Air Receivers

Through CompAir, Atlasco supports air receiver solutions for compressed air systems that require stable pressure, reserve capacity, and reliable air availability. Air receivers store compressed air between the compressor and the air network, helping absorb demand peaks, reduce pressure fluctuation, and improve overall system performance.

Stable Compressed Air Storage for Reliable System Performance

CompAir’s smaller rotary screw compressor range includes receiver-mounted options and complete Airstation packages with refrigerant dryer options, which supports the idea of compact compressor-plus-receiver configurations for industrial applications.

Storage Solutions Matched to Air Demand

Air receiver selection depends on compressor capacity, working pressure, air demand variation, downstream consumption, installation space, and whether the receiver is installed before or after air treatment.

Through Atlasco, customers can select the right CompAir-supported air receiver configuration as part of a complete compressed air system.

Why Air Receivers Matter

Compressed air demand is not always stable. Air receivers help absorb short-term changes in demand and reduce pressure fluctuation across the air network.

• Stable compressed air pressure
• Reserve air capacity during peak demand
• Reduced compressor cycling
• Better system control
• Support for dryer and filtration performance
• Improved compressed air reliability

The Value of Pressure Stability

A properly sized air receiver helps the compressor system respond smoothly to changing air demand. This protects downstream equipment, reduces pressure drops, and supports more consistent production performance.

Performance Range & Storage Coverage

• Vertical air receivers
• Horizontal air receivers
• Wet air receivers before dryers
• Dry air receivers after air treatment
• Receiver-mounted compressor packages
• Complete compressor Airstation packages
• Pressure-rated compressed air storage vessels

Wet or Dry Receiver — Built Around System Layout

Wet air receivers are usually installed before dryers to help buffer compressor discharge air and support condensate separation.

Dry air receivers are installed after air treatment to store clean, dry compressed air before distribution.

Some systems may require both, depending on air quality and pressure stability needs.
