Constructor for ReceiverTank - This is required when we need to order a receiver tank to meet our compressed air requirements. This calculator computes the quantity of compressed air that is actually available for use. When air receivers are installed, the system’s pressure profile and lack of storage limit the effectiveness of compressed air energy storage. Hence this calculator proves useful in such a context.
- Parameters
-
| method | ReceiverTank::Method, Calculation Method, in this case it must be General |
| airDemand | const double, Amount of air needed, which comes out of the receiver tank - cubic ft |
| allowablePressureDrop | const double, This decides the pressure drop inside the receiver tank that we can tolerate - psi |
| atmosphericPressure | const double, This is generally 14.7 psi. In case the receiver tank is at higher altitude location, the respective atmospheric pressure at that location can be given - psi |

- Parameters
-
| method | ReceiverTank::Method, Calculation Method, in this case it must be DedicatedStorageMethod OR BridgingCompressorReactionDelay due to a C++ overloading limitation |
| lengthOfDemandOrDistanceToCompressorRoom | const double, Time duration for which the compressed air is needed OR Distance of the event, that is removing the air, from the compressor room - minutes OR feet |
| airFlowRequirementOrSpeedOfAir | const double, The quantity of air needed OR Flow rate of air from the tank
|
| atmosphericPressure | const double, This is generally 14.7 psi. In case the receiver tank is at higher altitude location, the respective atmospheric pressure at that location can be given - psi |
| initialTankPressureOrAirDemand | const double, Tank pressure before release of air OR Amount of air needed, which comes out of the receiver tank - psi OR cubic ft |
| finalTankPressureOrAllowablePressureDrop | const double, Tank pressure after release of air OR This decides the pressure drop inside the receiver tank that we can tolerate - psi |
