A Bladder Piston Accumulator Station is a type of hydraulic accumulator system that stores pressurized fluid for later use in a hydraulic system. The system consists of a bladder, piston, hydraulic fluid, and a gas or nitrogen charge.
When the hydraulic system is in operation, the fluid enters the accumulator and compresses the nitrogen gas in the bladder or behind the piston, depending on the type of accumulator. The bladder or piston acts as a barrier between the gas and fluid, preventing them from mixing.
When the hydraulic system requires additional fluid or pressure, the stored fluid in the accumulator is released and sent to the hydraulic system. This process can help maintain system pressure during periods of high demand or compensate for leaks in the system.
In a Bladder Piston Accumulator Station, the bladder is typically made of an elastomeric material, such as rubber or a synthetic polymer, and is designed to be flexible and durable. The piston is usually made of metal and is used in high-pressure applications.
The gas or nitrogen charge provides the initial pressure that compresses the bladder or piston and is usually pre-charged to a specific pressure. The gas or nitrogen charge can be adjusted to meet the needs of the specific application.
Bladder Piston Accumulator Stations are commonly used in hydraulic systems that require intermittent or infrequent use, as they can store fluid for later use and maintain system pressure during periods of low demand. They can also help extend the life of hydraulic components by reducing wear and tear caused by pressure fluctuations.
