Marine Vertical Air Receiver (Type A) | 0.05-15m³

A Type A vertical pressure vessel for the storage of compressed air. Its upright configuration is designed to minimize the use of floor space. The volume range is 0.05m³ to 15m³.

Accreditation and Certificates:

Approved-logo3-1
Overview
Marine Vertical Air Receiver is a cylindrical pressure vessel oriented vertically. This design utilizes vertical height to achieve the required storage volume while occupying a minimal footprint on the deck or in the engine room. The unit’s body is constructed from high-strength pressure vessel steel. It is delivered as a complete assembly with all required fittings, including an inlet valve, outlet valve, pressure gauge, safety valve, and drain valve, for integration into a ship’s pneumatic system.

Key Features:

  • Vertical Configuration: The upright design reduces the floor area required for installation.
  • Steel Construction: The body is manufactured from high-strength pressure vessel steel.
  • Included Safety Fittings: Each unit is equipped with a safety valve for overpressure protection and a drain valve for condensate removal.
  • Standard Volume Range: Available in capacities from 0.05m³ to 15m³.

Applications:

  • Main Engine Starting: Provides the powerful, instant air pressure needed to start large marine diesel engines.
  • Auxiliary & Generator Starting:  A reliable power source for all secondary engines.
  • Whistle & Horn Operation: Ensures a ready supply of air for critical safety signals.
  • Control Systems & Pneumatic Tools: Supplies stable air pressure for automated controls and maintenance tools.

Installation & Maintenance:

Installation: The unit is designed for secure mounting on its integrated steel base. Ensure the foundation is level and provides adequate support. Connections are clearly marked for straightforward piping integration.
Maintenance: The valves and control panels can be arranged either in a centralized manner or in a decentralized manner. We recommend daily draining of condensate via the bottom drain valve to prevent internal corrosion. Periodically test the safety valve to ensure correct function.

Need something specific?

The height, diameter, and nozzle positions can be manufactured to non-standard specifications. Certification from major classification societies is available upon request.

FAQ :

Q: What is the reason to select a Type A receiver?

A: Type A is selected when available floor space is limited, as its design uses vertical height to achieve the required volume.

Q: How is the Type A unit secured?

A: It is secured by bolting or welding its flat steel base to the ship’s structure.
