Use the Air Booster Receiver Sizing Calculator to size downstream receiver for pressure-booster applications. The calculator uses High-pressure demand, Booster flow, Demand duration, High pressure and Low pressure and reports receiver volume / recharge time.
Read the result in the context of the selected units and pressure basis. For this tool, the primary outputs are receiver volume / recharge time. Change one input at a time when comparing scenarios so the effect of each variable remains clear.
PneumaForge applies this verified method: Storage balance + booster flow deficit. The functional engine is shared with related tools in the receiver-storage family, while this page solves the specific intent represented by booster regulator tank sizing calculator.
Storage balance + booster flow deficitReproducible example: start with the calculator's default values (High-pressure demand = 2000; Booster flow = 1200; Demand duration = 20; High pressure = 10) and calculate the result. Then change the variable most relevant to your application and compare the new receiver volume / recharge time against the baseline.
Isothermal/known mean tank temperature unless a transient thermal model is explicitly selected. Absolute pressure differences represented consistently.
It is designed to size downstream receiver for pressure-booster applications. The reported outputs are receiver volume / recharge time.
The calculator uses High-pressure demand, Booster flow, Demand duration, High pressure and Low pressure. Only use values that represent the same operating condition or design case.
The calculation follows: Storage balance + booster flow deficit. The page also states the assumptions that define where the method is valid.
Isothermal/known mean tank temperature unless a transient thermal model is explicitly selected. Absolute pressure differences represented consistently.
Yes. PneumaForge converts supported units through canonical engineering units. For compressed-air reference flows and pressure bases, the reference pressure and temperature must also remain consistent.
