Piston Accumulators Standard Design - HYDAC

Transcription

Piston AccumulatorsStandard designFluids are practically incompressible andcannot therefore store pressure energy.The compressibility of a gas (nitrogen)is utilised in hydraulic accumulators forstoring fluids. HYDAC piston accumulatorsare based on this principle.A piston accumulator consists of a fluidsection and a gas section with the pistonacting as a gas-tight separation element.The gas section is pre-charged withnitrogen.The fluid section is connected to thehydraulic circuit so that the pistonaccumulator draws in fluid when thepressure increases and the gas iscompressed.When the pressure drops, the compressedgas expands and forces the stored fluidinto the circuit.1.2. DESIGNgas valveend cap safety deviceend cappistonsealing systemcylinderexternal sealend cap safety devicefluid port1.3. SEALING SYSTEMSPrecise information about the intendedoperating conditions is required in order toselect the most appropriate sealing systemfor the field of application. Importantcriteria for this selection are, for example,the:z Design pressurez Actual pressure differentialz Switching frequency or switching cyclez Temperature fluctuationz Operating fluidz Cleanliness of fluid (filtration rating)z Maintenance requirementsThe sealing systems differ according tothe type of piston used, each of whichhas its own type and arrangement ofseals. Various elastomers are availableas a sealing material, depending on theoperating conditions, see section 1.7.5.HYDAC piston accumulators consist of:z A cylinder with very finely machinedinternal surfacez End caps on the gas side and the oilside, sealed with O-ringsz A floating steel or aluminium pistonwhich can easily be accelerated due toits low weightz A sealing system adapted to theparticular field of applicationThe piston floats on guide rings whichprevent metal-to-metal contact betweenthe piston and the accumulator wall.For use with certain aggressive orcorrosive fluids, the parts coming intocontact with the fluid can be nickel platedfor protection, or made entirely fromcorrosion-resistant material.Suitable materials are also available forlow temperature applications.When supplied piston accumulators aresuitable for short-term storage.Piston accumulators suitable for long-termstorage are available on request.EN 3.301.19/04.211.DESCRIPTION1.1.

1.4. INSTALLATIONPOSITIONHYDAC piston accumulators operate inany position.Vertical installation is preferable with thegas side at the top, to prevent contaminantparticles from the fluid settling on thepiston seals. For hydraulic accumulatorswith certain piston position indicators,vertical installation is essential.1.5. TYPE OF INSTALLATIONFor strong vibrations and volumes above1 litre, we recommend the use of twoHYDAC mounting clamps, or more asappropriate, ideally in the end cap area.See catalogue section:z Mounting elements forhydraulic accumulatorsNo. 3.5021.6. ADVANTAGESz Complete range with nominal volumesup to over 3300 litres possiblez High ratios possible between pre-chargepressure and max. operating pressurez Economic solution using back-up gasbottles for low pressure differentialsz High flow rates possible; limitation: max.piston velocityz Power savingsz High level of efficiency of the hydraulicsystemz No sudden gas discharge when sealsare wornz Low space requirementsz Monitoring of the volume across theentire piston stroke or electrical limitswitchFurther advantages of using the lowfriction sealing system:z Minimum frictionz Also suitable for low pressuredifferentialsz No start-up frictionz Depending on fluid, slow movementswithout stick-slip effectz Low noise, no vibrationz High piston velocityup to 5 m/s for piston design 4z Improved accumulator efficiencyz Good service life of sealsdue to low wearz Suitable for large temperaturefluctuationsz Low maintenance requirements1.7. TECHNICALREQUIREMENTSHYDAC piston accumulators are suitablefor high flow rates (e.g. 1000 l/s).1.7.1 Effect of sealing frictionThe permitted piston velocity depends onthe sealing friction.Higher piston velocities are possible wherethere is less sealing friction.HYDAC piston accumulators of pistondesign 2 allow velocities ofup to 3.5 m/s.Oil velocityIn order to limit the pressure losses whenthe operating fluid is displaced, the flowvelocity should not exceed 10 m/s in thefitting cross-section.1.7.3 Function tests and fatigue testsFunction tests and fatigue tests are carriedout to ensure continuous improvement ofour piston accumulators.By subjecting the accumulators toendurance tests under realistic as wellas extreme working conditions, importantdata can be obtained about the longterm behaviour of the components. In thecase of piston accumulators, importantinformation on gas density and the servicelife of seals is gained from such tests.Vital data for use in accumulator sizing isgained by altering the working pressureand switching cycles.1.7.4 Gas chargingHydraulic accumulators must only becharged with nitrogen.Never use other gases.Risk of explosion!In principle, only use nitrogen of at leastClass 4.0 (filtration 3 µm).If other gases are to be used, pleasecontact HYDAC for advice.1.7.2 Permitted velocitiesGas velocityThe flow velocities in the gas sideconnection and pipe system shouldbe limited to 30 m/s when using pistonaccumulators of the back-up type. Gasvelocities of over 50 m/s should be avoidedat all costs.1.7.5 Working temperature and operating mediumThe permitted working temperature of a piston accumulator is dependent on the application limits of the metal materials and the pistonseal. Outside this temperature range, special materials must be used. The operating medium must also be taken into account.The following table displays a selection of elastomer materials including max. temperature range and a rough overview of resistant andnon-resistant fluids.
