Diaphragm Accumulators Introduction

A diaphragm accumulator is a device used in hydraulic systems to store and release energy. It separates liquid and gas with a flexible diaphragm, using the compressibility of the gas to store energy. When the hydraulic system's pressure increases, liquid enters the accumulator, compressing the gas within the diaphragm and storing energy. When the system pressure decreases, the compressed gas expands, pushing the liquid back into the system and releasing the stored energy.

Diaphragm accumulators are compact and lightweight, with diaphragms typically made from two materials: nitrile rubber and hydrogenated nitrile rubber, the latter being suitable for low-temperature working conditions. The maximum working pressure of the accumulator can reach 330 bar, with a minimum volume of 0.075 liters and a maximum volume of 3.5 liters. Additionally, the oil and gas ports have specific connection types that can be installed according to different working conditions.

The main functions of diaphragm accumulators include energy storage, pressure balancing, and reducing fluid pulsations. They can store excess energy in hydraulic systems in the form of compressed gas and release it when the system requires additional energy. Moreover, diaphragm accumulators can balance pressure variations in hydraulic systems, maintain system pressure stability, and reduce fluid pulsations and vibrations, thus improving the system's operational smoothness and accuracy.

In terms of maintenance, diaphragm accumulators require regular inspection and upkeep to ensure the integrity and performance of the diaphragm, guaranteeing the normal operation and safety of the accumulator. Milehertz provides diaphragm accumulators that are optimized in design, offering various accessories for safe installation and operation, and conforming to both Chinese national standards and European Union standards.

Overall, diaphragm accumulators are crucial components in hydraulic systems, optimizing system performance and efficiency by storing and releasing energy.
