Pressure Vessels
Air receiver tanks and other pressure containing vessels such as
(but not
limited to)
pulsation bottles, heat exchangers, moisture separators and traps,
must be in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section
VIII and ANSI B19.3 safety standards. They must be equipped with a properly
sized pressure relief valve, pressure gauge, tank drain, & manual shutoff valve
(refer to
Fig. 3-2, Typical Drop Leg & Component Location
).
Follow ASME code for air receiver tanks and other pressure con-
taining vessels. Pressure vessels must not be modified, welded,
repaired, reworked or subjected to operating conditions outside
the nameplate ratings. Such actions will negate code status, affect
insurance status and may cause property damage, severe injury or
even death.
A drain valve must be located in the bottom of the air receiver to allow for
moisture drainage. Extend piping away from the unit to provide safe and
convenient removal of excess moisture. An automatic drain valve is recom-
mended.
If the air receiver is going to be subject to temperatures of 32°F or below,
provisions must be made to guard against freezing of the pressure relief valves,
pressure gauge, moisture drain and any moisture in the tank.
Condensation
Rust can form inside the crankcase and on internal components as a result of
condensation. It is recommended that you run your compressor long enough to
allow it to warm up, thereby reducing the chance for condensation to form in
the crankcase.
