Typical uses
It serves as the central air receiver downstream of several compressors rated at 13 or 15 bar, when there is room lengthways rather than in height. Its dimensions and connections are the same as on the 12-bar version, so both the pipework and the space required stay the same.
A smaller 16-bar vessel is VHP2000-16, and the same size for 12 bar is VHP3000-12. The vertical 16-bar version is VVP3000-16.
How it is made




Ventilek’s tip
Drain the condensate every day. Three thousand litres collect a lot of it; an automatic condensate drain on the bottom connection z takes care of it by itself.
