Accumulator functions
Accumulators supplement peak flow demand, absorb hydraulic line shocks, and store emergency energy during power cuts.
Pre-charge Nitrogen pressure (P0)
For optimal efficiency, bladder N2 pre-charge pressure must be inspected periodically. As pre-charge drops, shock damping ability vanishes.
Bladder replacement safety
Prior to replacing aged or ruptured bladders, depressurize hydraulic lines completely; use ONLY pure Nitrogen (N2) gas for re-charging.
Periodic inspection
Regular pre-charge checks using calibrated charging kits extend bladder life and safeguard expensive pumps and pipework.
