Accumulators are vital components in hydraulic systems, designed to store energy in the form of pressurized fluid and release it when needed to maintain system pressure, absorb shocks, or compensate for fluid leakage. At Techknow Engineering Enterprise, we provide a wide range of high-performance hydraulic accumulators that ensure efficient energy management, smooth system operation, and enhanced equipment longevity. Our accumulators are engineered for precision, durability, and reliability across diverse industrial and mobile hydraulic applications.
What Are Hydraulic Accumulators?
A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage device that stores hydraulic energy by compressing a gas (usually nitrogen) inside a chamber separated from the hydraulic fluid. When system pressure rises, hydraulic fluid enters the accumulator, compressing the gas. When the system requires additional pressure or flow, the compressed gas expands, forcing the stored fluid back into the circuit. This process helps stabilize pressure fluctuations and improves overall system performance.
Types of Accumulators
Techknow Engineering Enterprise offers several types of accumulators to suit various applications:
-
Bladder Accumulators:
These are the most common type, featuring a flexible rubber bladder that separates the hydraulic fluid from the nitrogen gas. They are ideal for applications requiring fast response and high flow rates. -
Piston Accumulators:
These use a moving piston to separate the gas and fluid chambers. They are suitable for high-pressure systems and applications involving large fluid volumes or extreme temperatures. -
Diaphragm Accumulators:
Compact and lightweight, these accumulators use an elastic diaphragm to separate the gas and fluid. They are best suited for mobile and compact hydraulic systems.
Functions of Accumulators
Hydraulic accumulators perform several important roles within a system:
-
Energy Storage: Stores hydraulic energy and releases it when demand exceeds pump capacity.
-
Shock Absorption: Dampens pressure spikes and pulsations caused by pump or valve operations.
-
Pressure Compensation: Maintains consistent pressure by compensating for leaks and thermal expansion.
-
Emergency Power Supply: Provides backup power in case of pump failure.
-
Vibration Damping: Reduces mechanical vibrations in hydraulic circuits.
