On a daily basis, the industrial world is confronted with two fundamental questions:

How

to increase production capacity ? to reduce production costs ?

Some companies still disregard smart solutions, wrongly assuming that they can afford to ignore them.

Thanks to our bladder accumulators, we can offer you record breaking outputs at a reduced cost as well as an extended service life for your hydraulic systems.

Main Features

CONCEPT This accumulator comprises a forged steel shell, a fluid port assembly and a rubber bladder compatible with a large number of fluids. Its special design allows the bladder (the strategic component) to compress and deform into 3 lobes in order for the accumulator to store, then to deliver the fluid under pressure, as required. YOUR BENEFITS To increase your production rates thanks to large instantaneous flow rates that only accumulators can provide. Some spare power available at any time. Example : EHV 50-330/90 Average flow : 650 L/min. Maximum pressure available : 320 bars Minimum pressure available : 250 bars Average power = Average flow x Average pressure/600 = 308 kW The accumulator's ability to run independently moderates its installation cost while reducing your equipment running cost. With a similar accumulator in compliance with the European standard, your OLAER accumulator is suitable for use in more than 35 countries making it boundary friendly. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS The following technical characteristics are common to all type of accumulators. Test pressure (bar) : 500 Min./Max. working temperature acceptable (Celsius) : - 20/+80 Min./Max. storage temperature (Celsius) : - 40/+80 Shell material : Alloyed steel Rubber compound NBR, IIR, EPDM etc. Protections : Bare metal, electro-chemical coating, epoxy resins, PTFE

Olaer has developed some very sophisticated software simulating the behaviour of accumulators used in applications such as pulsation dampening, surge alleviation, thermal expansion and energy storage. This software is available on CD-Rom and from our website : www.olaer.com BASIC SIZING CHART FOR ACCUMULATOR USED IN ENERGY STORAGE
Accumulator size in litre

ISO T AD HER M IA BA AL TI C

stored volume :

The above graphic is used to estimate the size of an accumulator used to store or deliver a certain volume of liquid within a given pressure range. These curves are the graphic representation of an adiabatic* cycle (fast cycling rate - N = 1.4) or isothermal* cycle for an accumulator working at 20C with a precharge P0 = 0,9 P1 They do not take into consideration the real gas compression correction factor, the real adiabatic coefficient and the polytropic rate of the application. Depending on the application data, the influence of these factors may be significant, and require that some calculations adjustments be made.
*Reminder Isothermal : the transformation is said to be isothermal when the compression or expansion of the gas occurs at a rate slow enough to allow a good thermal exchange, allowing the gas to remain at constant temperature. Adiabatic : the transformation is said to be adiabatic when the cycle is quick and does not allow a temperature exchange with the ambient media.

Sizing of an accumulator to be installed in the following conditions. P2 : Maximum available pressure : 210 bars P1 : Minimum working pressure : 100 bars P0 : Nitrogen precharge : 90 b V : Volume to be stored : 14 l Condition : Isothermal (No temperature variation) A/ Compression ratio = P2/P1 = 210/100 = 2,1 B/From the value 2,1 on the axis, draw a vertical line that intersects the isothermal reference curve in A. C/ From the value 14 on the V axis, draw a vertical line. The intersection point of this line with the horizontal line meeting A indicates a required accumulator size of 32 L. Calculation of the volume drawn off from an accumulator Accumulator size = 12 L P2 = 185 b ; P1 = 100 b ; P0 = 90 b Adiabatic condition = P2/P1 = 185/100 = 1,85 V = 3,5 litre.

Installation

Prior to any installation, it is necessary to visually check the accumulator in order to detect any possible damage incurred during transport. For optimal operation, the accumulator needs to be located as close as possible to the "application". It may be installed vertically, gas valve facing up, or horizontally. Avoid standing in the alignment of the connections Consider the environmental conditions and if needed, protect the accumulator against heat sources, electrical and magnetic fields, lightning strikes, humidity and foul weather Keep 200 mm over the top of the gas valve free of encumbrance to allow the use of a charging head Allow free access to the oil drain Keep all markings visible Install in such a way so as to prevent any undue stress on the pipe work, either directly or indirectly. Clamp the accumulator tightly to a fixed support or alternatively guard it to limit its displacement in case of a connection failure to the hydraulic system. Connect the accumulator to the hydraulic system using the right connectors or flanges Check the compatibility of the fluid with the materials used Insure that the maximum design pressure of the accumulator exceeds the maximum system pressure Insure that pressure and temperature limits are not exceeded Equip the hydraulic system with a pressure relief device If necessary, add-on a burst disk to account for risks of overpressure associated with thermodynamics effects. Install an appropriate filtration unit and/or organise regular internal inspections as often as is necessary when dealing with abrasive fluids. It is strictly forbidden to : Weld, screw or rivet anything onto the accumulator body Operate in any way that may alter the mechanical properties of the accumulator. Use the accumulator for construction purposes. (No stress or loading) To modify the accumulator without prior approval from the manufacturer
