STORAGECOMPRESSORSStored energyENERGY IN RESERVEStorage is a reservoir from which acompressed medium can be used tomeet the demands of an applicationwhile protecting the compressor fromthe direct demand of the applicationand preventing short-cycling of thecompressor and motor. In its simplestform storage and a pressure regulatorcan be used to provide the compressedmedium at a constant pressure, butstorage can also satisfy unpredictabledemands of the application which thecompressor can not meet. Storage canbe in the form of a single bank (buffer)or arranged in multiple banks. Thecompressor and storage must be sizedand configured as an engineered systemfor optimum efficiency and costsavings. BAUER recommends that thecompressor does not start more than 4times per hour.The volume of storage required for aspecific application depends upon:A. Consumption rate of the systemB. Capacity of the compressor/boosterC. Deadband of the final pressure switchBAUER is knowledgeable in the applicationof storage to medium and highpressure applications. We offer storagesystems that meet the code requirementsof the American Society ofMechanical Engineers (ASME) and theDepartment of Transportation (DOT).Additional information can be found inour brochure for Storage Systems andAccessories.STANDARD14
