Hydraulic accumulator
In addition to low-loss energy conversion, the quality parameters of hydraulic systems can be increased by storing energy in the separate hydraulic accumulator unit.
Hydraulic accumulators therefore fulfill the main task of enabling more economical energy utilization in the hydraulic system. In addition, hydraulic accumulators improve the smoothness of energy transfer by performing the following tasks:87
- Reduce flow pulsation
- absorb dynamic pressure changes (pressure surges) in the line system (pulsation damping)
- absorb mechanical shocks from the load system (shock absorption)
- increase the uniformity of the movement sequence (running quality).
- cover large current requirements for a short time, for example by high start-up acceleration
- to be realized (covering power peaks)
- satisfy small leakage current requirements in the long term, around
- maintain biasing force (leakage current compensation)
General conditions for energy storage: p 0 = 0.9 p 1
The following relationship applies to bladder accumulators: p 2 ≤ 4 p 0
The maximum operating pressure of the hydraulic system p3 results from the pressure for which the hydraulic system is secured against excess pressure. This is the maximum pressure setting pressure relief valve to trigger opening tank. (response pressure).
The usual condition for the maximum operating pressure p 2 of the hydraulic accumulator is: p 2 ≤ 0.9 · p 3
