Hi, 

 

This is sort of dumb question..however i still wanted to clarify. When we fill an air receiver for e.g. from atmospheric pressure

to say some pressure 100 psig...what is the maximum pressure we can build in the vessel. If we have air supply at 100 psig, can 

we have more than 100 psig in the vessel ? is it possible to build >100 psig with air supply at 100 psig?

raman,

 

The maximum pressure can be build in the receiver, would be 100 psig...

thanks fallah. sorry for the unusual question. 

 

thanks

The pressure in the vessel can't exceed the maximum supply pressure as you don't get any additional air in the vessel at 100 psig.

If you fill a rigid vessel with air to 100 psig and block it in, the air volume in the vessel is constant and the number of air molecules are constant. The pressure inside the vessel will then vary with temperature and can exceed 100 psig.
