Marine Air Receiver
The marine air receiver is a bottle that is designed to store compressed air and supply start up or air whistle for main engine and auxiliary engine.
In the marine diesel engine power plant, the main air receiver and auxiliary air receiver are generally provided. It can be divided into the horizontal air receiver and the vertical receiver according to its structure. There are low pressure air receiver, medium pressure air receiver, and high pressure air receiver according to its rated pressure.
Overview
The main air receiver is used to store compressed air for diesel engine starting. According to the specification requirements: there needs to be at least two main air receivers. The air pressure is often maintained between 2.5MPa and 3.0MPa. In the case of not adding compressed air, the main engine can be started at least 12 times alternately, and the auxiliary engine can be at least 6 consecutive starts.
The auxiliary air receivers are generally used to store compressed air for ship air whistles and cleaning. Its pressure is low, and the compressed air from the main air receiver can be stored and used after decompression. The air receiver is generally equipped with an inflation stop valve, an output stop valve, a safety valve, a pressure gauge and a discharge device. Some also are provided with fusible plugs to prevent the air receiver from exploding. Special attention should be paid to maintaining the pressure of the air receiver, and regularly releasing water and checking the sealing of each valve. If there is leakage, it should be repaired in time.
