33 Benefits of wet receiver • Damping pulsations caused by the load and unload pressures in the compressor. • Providing location for free water to settle and only dry air to leave for the operating equipment. • Reducing load/unload or start/stop cycle frequencies, to help compressors run more efficiently. • Slowing system pressure changes, to allow better compressor control and more stable system and header pressures. Benefits of dry receiver • The dry receiver will act as a demand buffer between the load demands and compressor delivery pressure. • The dry receiver will take the user demand directly. • The dryer functioning will improve as the dry receiver acts as a buffer to flatten the process demand spikes. • The refrigerated dryer thereby improves, allowing the steady drying with minimum pressure drop across the dryer. • The safe working of the dryer, even catering to the highly fluctuating downstream loads. Receiver arrangement 6. Pressure at various locations of the plant Pressure drop mainly occurs due to these reasons • Pipe material friction loss (GI pipe have higher pressure drop then Aluminium pipe for the same period of operation) • Pipeline connection bend, protrusions, ( (90degree bends and multiple bends need to avoid) • compressed air leak • Clogged Filters. • Moisture air.
