Top Plate Vertical Air Receiver Tanks for Compressors

Our vertical top plate air tanks are great replacements for failed air tanks, the most popular tanks are 30 gallon, 60 gallon, 80 gallon and 120 gallons.

Sizing Air Tanks

It is recommended to have 4 gallons of storage for every 1 CFM for load/no load (start/stop) piston and rotary compressors and 2 gallons of storage for every 1 CFM for variable speed drive compressors. Remember, you can never have enough storage for your air system.

Air Tank Installations

Their are a lot of theories when installing air tanks within your compressor room. Compressor recommends to install your air tank after the compressor to help with the controls and reduce energy consumption. Textbook will tell you to install a tank after the compressor and after the air dryer, one tank acting as a "wet tank" and one tank acting as "dry tank". Please note; your air lines do not act as air storage, your air distribution is a very important role of your air system, air distribution is covered in the air piping category.
