| Certain accident prevention rules must be followed when installing compressed air receivers.
- Compressed air receivers must be protected from external damage (e.g., falling objects).
- The receiver and its equipment must be able to be operated from a safe location.
- Safety areas and distances must be observed.
- The receiver must be safe where it stands. It must not move or tilt by the application of external force. This includes the additional weight during pressure testing! A reinforced foundation may be necessary for large compressed air receivers.
- The factory specification plate must be well visible.
- Compressed air receivers must have reasonable protection against corrosion.
- Vertical receivers are brought horizontally into the compressor rooms and then set up on their feet. The diagonal height of the receiver must therefore be taken into account in the dimensions of the room, otherwise it will be impossible to set up the receiver.
