Which components in an air compressor, air receiver tank, refrigerated dryer, and filters qualify as pressure vessels?
In compressed air systems, the pressure vessel characteristics of air receivers, refrigerant dryers, and filters differ. Air receivers qualify as statutory pressure vessels because they meet the applicable pressure–volume criteria; the refrigerant dryer as a whole is not…
Whether an air compressor is subject to special equipment regulations is not determined by its motor power, but rather by the working pressure and volume of the accompanying air receiver tank. This article provides a detailed analysis of…
As a critical pressure vessel, the air receiver tank’s design life directly affects both its safe operation and economic efficiency. This paper provides a detailed analysis—covering fundamental concepts, key influencing factors, regulatory and code requirements, and practical assessment…

The pressure vessel of the air compressor has reached its design service life. Can it still be used?
Once the design service life of a pressure vessel for an air compressor has expired, it must not be put back into service. The design service life serves as a safety‑based reference period rather than an absolute end‑of‑life…
The pressure setting of a compressed air storage tank directly affects the safety and efficiency of the system. This article provides a detailed analysis of the typical operating pressure range, design pressure standards, and key considerations for pressure…
The design life of a pressure vessel is not fixed; it is determined by the design organization based on a comprehensive assessment of the medium’s properties, operating conditions, and material performance. Commonly specified design lives are 10, 15,…
