British horizontal hydraulic station accumulator

What types of accumulators do QHP offer?

QHP provide Stainless-Steel Fabricated Bladder Accumulators in a range of standard sizes from 1 to 50 litres, in a range of materials to suit topside and Subsea applications with design pressures up to 690 bar. Optional Bladder and seal materials to suit a wide variety of temperatures and system fluids.

What is a hydraulic accumulator?

A hydraulic accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir that stores hydraulic fluid under pressure, often using compressed gas. Key components include the shell, bladder/diaphragm, and gas pre-charge. Accumulators store energy in the form of hydraulic fluid, releasing it when needed to maintain pressure or deliver additional power to the system.

What is an accumulator station?

Accumulator stations: Intended for use in hydraulic systems consisting of a diaphragm or bladder-type accumulator with shut-off block on mounting elements. The following models are available:

What are the different types of hydraulic accumulators?

Serve as buffers, absorbing pressure surges and ensuring consistent system performance. Bladder Accumulators: Most common in mobile and industrial hydraulics, offering rapid response to pressure changes. Diaphragm Accumulators: Compact and cost-effective, ideal for lower volume and pressure applications.

What factors should be considered when selecting a hydraulic accumulator?

The accumulator has discharged its design maximum volume of fluid back into the system. When selecting an accumulator for a particular application, both hydraulic system and accumulator performance criteria should be considered. To ensure long and satisfactory service life, the following factors should be taken into account:

What is a piston accumulator?

Piston accumulators are available in a choice of diameters and lengths for a given capacity, whereas bladder and diaphragm accumulators are frequently ofered in only one size per capacity, and fewer sizes are available. Piston accumulators can also be built to custom lengths for applications in which available space is critical.
