Accumulator Operating Principle: Operation of the gas loaded bladder accumulator is based on the considerable difference in compressibility between a gas and a liquid, enabling a large quantity of energy to be stored in an extremely compact form. This enables a liquid under pressure to be accumulated, stored and recovered at any time.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
In hydraulic circuits, the accumulator enables:
- Energy Storage: saves energy without loss and redistributes when required therefore reducing installed power.
- Pressure compensation: absorbs pressure spikes from pumps or other components to control pressure and flow-rates in a hydraulic circuit.
- Volume Control: absorbs fluid volume variations induced by temperature changes in a closed hydraulic circuit and maintains a rated pressure.
- Maintains Fluid Flow Rate: an accumulator can maintain the fluid flow rate in case of pump failure and can also be used as a mobile fluid reserve under pressure.
- Emergency Energy Storage: in case of failure of the main energy source, an accumulator can provide sufficient energy to complete an operation or to realize a full hydraulic cycle.
- Prevents mixing of fluids: Transfer of energy from a fluid to another fluid without any risk of mixing.
- Shock absorber: suppresses shocks and vibrations in hydraulic systems of lifting vehicles (e.g. Forklift trucks) and maintains real suspension of the load on a gas spring.
