Note 1
Buffer time is the time interval in which the the receiver is supplying the required air flow
rate whithout receiving any compressor flow. The receiver is initially at a pressure P initial
and is able to deliver the required air flow rate until its pressure reach its minimum
value Pfinal. A minimum of 15 minutes is recommended as a buffer time [10].
