Dear SSM All air receivers are pressure vessels but not all pressure vessels are air receivers. hope you understood, Regards, Aquadefonte

Pressure Vessel
A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure.
Air Vessel
A vessel designed for compressed-air installations that is used both to store the compressed air and to permit pressure to be equalized in the system.
Hope you are clear now.

Thanks Mr. Ragu for your clarification. Pl clarify further the air receiver need to be equipped with pressure relieve valve, pressure gauges etc., as that of pressure vessels..... Reagards, SSM

Dear all, please find the inputs from my side on the same. I thought of explaining in detail -
Pressure Vessels
Pressure vessels are used to store and transmit liquids, vapors, and gases under pressure in general. The pressure of these fluids will exert pressure equally in all directions on the walls and ends of the pressure vessels. Because of the internal loading, stresses are induced on certain sections of the cylinder (pressure vessel) wall. The pressure vessels (cylindrical or spherical tanks) are generally used in engineering to store fluid under pressure.
The Main Types of Pressure Vessels Are -
• According to the end construction
• According to the dimensions
Pressure Vessels According to the End Construction -
According to the end construction, the pressure vessels may be open-ended or closed-ended. A simple cylinder with a piston is an example of an open-ended vessel, whereas a tank is an example of a closed-ended vessel. Due to the fluid pressure, circumferential or hoop stresses are included in the case of open-ended vessels, whereas longitudinal stresses, in addition to circumferential stresses, are induced in the case of closed-ended vessels.
Pressure Vessels According to Dimensions -
According to the dimensions, pressure vessels may be of thin shell or thick shell. The deciding factor between thin and thick shells is its wall thickness and shell diameter. If the ratio t/d is less than 1/10, the vessel is said to be a thin shell, and if the ratio is greater than 1/10, it is said to be a thick shell. Thin shells are used in boilers, tanks, and pipes, whereas thick shells are used in high-pressure cylinders, tanks, and gun barrels.
Uses of Pressure Vessels -
The pressure vessels are used to store fluids such as liquid vapors and gases under pressure. Major uses of pressure vessels are as follows:
• Pressure vessels are used in steam boilers.
• Pressure vessels are also used in the storage of chemicals in chemical plants.
• Used in the storage of petroleum products (petrol, diesel, etc.).
Air Receivers
Air receivers are tanks used for compressed air storage and are recommended to be in all compressed air systems. Air receiver tanks are designed to provide a supply buffer to meet short-term demand spikes that can exceed the compressor capacity. They also serve to dampen reciprocating compressor pulsations, separate out particles and liquids, and make the compressed air system easier to control. In some cases, installing a larger air receiver tank to meet occasional peak demands can even allow for the use of a smaller compressor.
An Air Receiver in Compressed Air Systems Serves the Important Purposes of:
• Equalizing the pressure variation from the start/stop and modulating sequence of the compressor.
• Storage of air volume equalizing the variation in consumption and demand from the system.
• Collecting condensate and water in the air after the compressor.
Trust the above gives more idea....
