Hydraulic accumulators

D&D Ricambi Srl offers a complete range of hydropneumatic accumulators, electromechanical and electronic pressure switches, vacuum switches, level indicators for tanks and flow switches.

Trained and experienced technicians are always at the customer’s disposal to help him evaluate and choose the right tool.

The hydropneumatic accumulator is a device that makes possible, in the hydraulic circuits, a considerable accumulation of energy in small spaces.

Since the liquids are practically incompressible, therefore unsuitable for the accumulation of energy, the purpose is achieved by exploiting the great compressibility of gases:Since the liquids are practically incompressible, therefore unsuitable for the accumulation of energy, the purpose is achieved by exploiting the great compressibility of gases:

A) An elastic separator (bladder) is mounted in a container (accumulator body).
B) An inert gas (nitrogen) is introduced into the PO pressure bladder from a special valve. The bladder expands occupying the entire internal volume of the VO accumulator body.
C) When the pressure P1 in the circuit exceeds the pre-charge pressure PO, the liquid valve opens and the bladder compresses with a reduction in volume to V1.
D) By increasing the pressure of the liquid at P2, there is a reduction in the volume of the gas at V2 with an increase in its pressure in order to balance the pressure of the liquid.
