Air receiver
Estimate peak buffering or a simple switching cycle separately.
New projects stay in memory until you choose Save or Export. Local saving is not a cloud account. Contacts are excluded from saved project files.
Calculations run on this device. A result is a preliminary estimate, not engineering approval. No documented model operating points have been imported yet.
V = max(Qd−Qs,0)t Pref/(Ph−Pl) × Ttank/Tref. Switching adds charging and discharging times. These estimates do not design a pressure vessel, relief valve or safety system.
Required data & method sources
- Same-reference demand/supply flow, high/low absolute pressure and gas temperatures
- Peak duration, or maker-permitted switch frequency and its cycle definition/source
- Existing usable volume and compatible connection, pressure and temperature conditions
Method references only; not manufacturer performance data or engineering approval.
