RE: Air compressor Tank
Share some details and people here might be able to help guide you to an appropriate air receiver.

RE: Air compressor Tank
I had an application once that needed to slowly ramp pressure from the low setpoint to the high setpoint. Working with the compressor manufacturer and several control valve manufacturers we all determined that the best way to do it was to not have an air receiver and let the compressor build pressure to match increasing resistance--worked great, and the control's solution with a receiver was going to require a PLC and a bunch of custom programming. I admit that this was a really odd situation that hasn't been repeated in 30 years, but it was a real requirement.
Engineers need to keep an open mind for simple solutions that step outside the box a bit.

I think "every" means "often".
It is recommendable to has an air receiver is essential to every compressed air system to act as a buffer.
Control valve will do continuing compressor running loosing energy. If power compressor is high, you will loose a lot of money with control valve.
I hope this helps.

Think about how much variation you can accept in your system's air pressure when deciding on an accumulator rather than just going with a 'rule of thumb'. The rule of thumb may be adequate for your system or it could be oversized or undersized. An oversized accumulator may just cost you money but an undersized accumulator may prevent your air system from operating as required.
