Concretely speaking, it is used to make pump/motor size small and also used as an auxiliary power source in emergency, as a hydraulic starter for an internal combustion engine and as aid for pump delivery at the time of high-speed activation of an actuator, etc. ■ Shock absorption of Water hummer and Surge pressure Suddenly shutting off a high-pressure and high-flow pipeline generates large impact pressure. In other cases mechanical shock to an actuator from external may cause fluid vibration and thus damage to equipment. The accumulator mitigates these shocks. ■ Pump pulsation damping Pulse pressure in a single, dual or triple piston pump for high pressure operation makes control of a pressure device difficult. However, by using the accumulator, not only the trouble due to pulse pressure but also the knocking phenomenon due to smallness feeding from a cylinder of a machine tool etc. can be solved. ■ Leak compensation The accumulator compensates for the pressure drop caused by a leak that may occur by keeping an actuator at a fixed position for a long time or by clamping something. The hydro-pneumatic accumulator is a storage vessel for pressurized fluid that utilizes compressed gas. Energy from compressed gas makes pressured fluid discharge from the vessel. The bladder type accumulator has a soft rubber bag, that separates compressed gas and non-compressed fluid, and gas is charged into the bag. One of big characteristics of the bladder type accumulator is to have many other functions than energy storage. ■ Compensation in temperature change The accumulator reduces the pressure rise in closed pipe-lines under the burning sun and compensates for the pressure drop caused by fluid contraction in cold area. ■ Hydraulic balancing By using the gas pressure in the accumulator as a weight, cylinder friction leads vertical movement of a machine tool head or a television camera. ■ Hydro-pneumatic shock absorption The accumulator serves as a spring for absorbing shock between the body and wheels of a vehicle. In addition, it can be utilized as a pneumatic spring for various squeeze rolls. The accumulator provides lessfatigue and high absorption efficiency of impact energy as compared to a spring. ■ Transfer barrier This is the method to transfer the hydraulic pressure from one side to the other without mixing each fluid. In this method, the accumulator serves as a gas compressor or transfers corrosive fluid. In order to reduce the accumulator pressure change caused by charging or discharging fluids, the accumulator can also be operated with low differential pressure by increasing its gas chamber volume. ■ Fluid supply The accumulator is used for supplying lubrication oil in emergency or used as a portable oil lubricator. 2 ● Title:中村工機-P02∼08.ec6 Page:3 Date: 2014/12/15 Mon 09:14:46 SYMBOL COMMON Accumulator Volume Calculation △ V : Available Discharge Volume of Acc.

The stroke is 115mm, the work time is 1.5sec and the idle time for removing the work is 2min. On the premise of the above, we compare two cases, Case 1 is to use a pump and a motor only and Case 2 is to add an accumulator to them. How will the size change? The answer is shown in Table 1. < Case 1: Pump and Motor only > << Case 1: Calculation >> 500 × 103N Ram dia. 200mm, Required pressure= =15.92 ≒16MPa (Ram area=202 × 0.785=314 ) 314 × 102 Fluid required for 1 stroke=314 × 11.5㎝=3,611cc=3.7 3.7 Fluid volume required in a second= =2.47/sec 1.5 sec Flow volume required in a minute=2.47 × 60=148.2/min ≒ 149/min 149 /min × 16 MPaG 39.0 Motor= ≒ ≒ 47.6 kW ≒ 55 kW 61.2 × η ρ(Pump Efficiency) 0.82 << Case 1: Result >> The required fluid volume of the pump = 149/min, The required pressure = 16MPa or more, Motor capacity = 55kW ︸ ︸ ︷ ︷ < Case 2: Pump, Motor and Accumulator > If an accumulator is added to the system, there are two approaches (Formula: Press power=Pressure × Ram dimension). One method is to adopt the press cylinder with a larger bore in consideration of the pressure drop (P3 → P2) during fluid discharge(in case of the bladder type accumulator). Another method is to design the accumulator's max working pressure such that its minimum pressure of the accumulator becomes to 16MPaG at the end of discharge(in this case, the max pressure is designed as 21.5MPaG). Let us work on the latter example. In this case, the accumulator with the max pressure of 21.5MPaG and the pump with 21.5MPaG power are used together. The calculation for pump and motor size is as follows, << Case 2: Calculation >> △ V × P2(P3/P2)1/m Table 1:Comparison table of Case 1 and Case 2 V1= P1 (P3/P2)1/n − 1 Case 1 Case 2 Notes : ◎ On the pressure, convert (MPaG+0.1) into MPaA Required pressure 16MPaG 21.5MPaG ◎ Refer to following item f as to P1 Pump 149/min 1.9/min 3.7 × 16.1(21.6/16.1)1/1.28 =32.5 ≒ 33 V1= 1/1.85 Motor 55kW 1.1kW 13.4 (21.6/16.1) − 1 Accumulator None 33 3.7 Flow rate to accumulator= =1.9/min 2min 1.9 /min × 21.5 MPaG ≒ 1.1kW Motor= =0.82kW 61.2 × 0.82 << Case2: Result >> The required pressure: 1.35 times bigger than Case1, The pump volume: 1/79 size of Case 1, The motor size: 1/50 size of Case 1. < The sample procedure to select the accumulator model for exercise 1 > a. As the required pressure is 21.5MPaG, the model shall be G230 or T230 (Ref. pages 8 and 9). b. As the calculated gas volume is 33, the nominal gas volume is 30 (Ref. pages 8 and 9). c. As the required fluid volume is 149/min, it is within the range of the max allowable discharge flow shown in the G/T series (Ref. pages 8 and 9). d. If the fluid is mineral oil/water-glycol and the working temperature is under 80℃, the bladder material is NBR #20 (Ref. page 6). e. If a flange is used for piping, the oilport flange's type is OPE-D32 with a mating flange (Ref. page 16). As a result of the above (a. ∼ e.), the accumulator model shall be“G/T230-30-20-OPF-D32 with a mating flange”. f. Confirmation of the Precharge pressure (P1) As the basic information, the higher the pre-charge pressure (P1) is, the bigger △ V increases. At the same time, P1 should be within the range of P1 < 0.9 × P2. Taking into consideration the case that the fluid temperature may increase during operation, P1 shall be designed as consistently less than 90% of P2. If P1 becomes higher than P2, the bladder lifetime will be short. Absolute temperature at precharging P1= × 0.9 × P2 273+26 = × 0.9 × 16.1=13.4 MPaA ~ Max absolute temperature 273+50 When the value of P1 is 13.3MPaG, ⊿V shall be 3.7 . 4 ● Title:中村工機-P02∼08.ec6 Page:5 Date: 2014/12/15 Mon 09:14:47 Exercise 2, Pulsation Damping : The calculation formula to select the accumulator model for pulsation damping is as follows, < Conditions Precedent > Symbol P1 Px Pm N Q F1 q n Meaning Precharge pressure Average working pressure Max allowable pressure Pump type Revolution of pump Pump delivery Pump coefficient Pump delivery per revolution Polytropic exponent Details 1 3MPaG 5MPaG Px +3% = 5.15MPaG Simplex & Single acting 62rpm 32/min 0.6 Q/N Average pressure = 5.1MPaA Details 2 3.1MPaA 5.1MPaA 5.25MPaA 32/62 1.51 < Calculation Formula > V1= ( ) = 62 × 0.6 ×(3.1)=26.8 5.1 1− P (P ) 1 −(5.25 ) Pχ q・F1・ P1 32 1 χ n 5.1 1/1.51 m < Result > The gas volume of the accumulator to control pulsation within ±3% of the average working pressure is 26.8 .

Melting plug : Melting plug is a safety device to protect the accumulator from abnormally high temperature environment. ■ Features : ●Melting plug doesn't have moving parts, so it is dependable as a safety device. ●Because Melting plug is installed separate from the gas supply valve seat, there is not damage due to charging gases. ●Even if the fuse is melted by fire disaster, the valve-guard prevents the melted piece from blasting off. ●Because Melting plug is being incorporated into the valve stem of bladder, this is renewed by replacing the bladder and no extra space is required. ●Melting plug is safe against external shocks, etc. Standard melting temperature is 105 ± 5℃. The temperature is designed for the plug to start melting at the time when the accumulated pressure increases higher than the accumulator's max pressure. After that, the accumulated gas is discharged from the plug hole and controlled not to greatly exceed the max pressure. Please take care that there is a possibility the plug starts melting during operation in high temperature environment over 80 ℃, and it leads gas leak. In this case, we recommend to use Melting plug for high temperature, that starts melting at 180 ± 10℃. To select appropriate safety device, please let us know before you order.

Q0 ≦ Q Q : Max allowable flow rate (/min) Hydro-Lung Fig.1 Example of Hydro-Lung use Fig.2 Breather As a result, when Qo is less than Q, it is needed to select a hydro-lung which maximum displacement is adequate to Vk (Ref. the below model list). But if Qo is more than Q it is better to increase the number of hydro-lungs. As Fig. 1 Example of Hydro-Lung use, the oil level changes at the same amount as the piston rod volume according to the hydraulic cylinder operation. At the same time, Hydro-lung absorbs the rise and fall in the air chamber. In other words, the bladder of Hydro-lung expands along with increase of the oil-level and constricts according to decrease of the oil-level. Because a breather valve is equipped, Hydro-lung is effective at the situation also where the oil level greatly changes due to supplying operation oil or replacing devices. Concretely speaking, the bladder of Hydro-lung constricts along with decrease of the oil-level. After that, the bladder absorbs atmosphere from the vacuum valve ② via filter ③ . Conversely, the bladder expands along rise of the oil level or along increase of the pressure in the air chamber. After that, the air discharges to outside through the relief valve ①. In addition, Hydro-lung can prevent the oil reservoir from the contamination due to external atmosphere since the inside is isolated from the outside.

Read the operation manual and well understand its content before using the vessel. To prevent injury to persons or damage to the accumulator, observe the safety precautions below. 1. Selecting an accumulator !CAUTION : Accumulators are pressure vessels which are controlled under laws and regulations according to their place of use, pressure, and capacity. When selecting an accumulator, be aware of such regulations. !CAUTION : Select an accumulator which is compatible with its usage conditions, such as operating pressure, amount of work oil to be pressurized, operating temperature, type of fluid to be charged in the accumulator, environmental considerations, and applicable regulations. If a wrong accumulator were selected, it could not only fail to perform to expectations but also adversely affect interconnected machines. 2. Installing an accumulator !WARNING*: Do not attempt to weld any thing to or drill a hole in an accumulator. Such an act would jeopardize its safety and could cause it to explode. !CAUTION : Secure an accumulator to the frame or wall with a band or other suitable means. If such a support were neglected, vibration (due to normal operation or earthquake) would excessively stress the accumulator, and could eventually loosen its fasteners. !CAUTION : Do not subject an accumulator to external heat. Put up a heat shield around the accumulator if it is near a heat source or exposed to direct sunlight. If an accumulator were heated from outside, the fluid inside could build up a dangerously high pressure. !CAUTION : As a safety measure, provide a pressure control valve in the piping system at a location near and directly connected to the accumulator so that its maximum allowable pressure will never be exceeded. 3. Charging an accumulator with nitrogen gas (precharging) !WARNING*: Only use nitrogen gas as the fluid precharged in an accumulator. Never use oxygen or flammable gas because it could cause a fire or explosion. !CAUTION : While no regulatory qualification is required (in Japan) for a person to charge an accumulator with nitrogen gas, it is important for personal safety that the person be trained for handling high-pressure gases. When charging an accumulator with nitrogen gas, use a charging assembly which is compatible with the accumulator. 4. Using a charging assembly !CAUTION : A charging assembly is used for precharging, replenishing, or pressure calibration. Attach a charging assembly to an accumulator only before use, and always remove it from the accumulator after use. A charging assembly as permanently attached to an accumulator could increase the possibility of gas leak or damage to its instruments. 5. Using an accumulator !WARNING : Ensure that an accumulator is used at pressures not exceeding its maximum working pressure (design pressure). Excessive pressure could cause the accumulator to explode. !CAUTION : Do not leave an accumulator charged only with pressurized fluid but not with work oil for more than two weeks. Otherwise, the bladder rubber could permanently stick to the inside surface of the shell. 6. Maintaining an accumulator !CAUTION : To ensure maximum performance of an accumulator and the integrity of its bladder, check and adjust an accumulator right after precharging, one week after the precharging, and every three months thereafter. When measuring the pressure of the fluid in an accumulator, the pressure inside the work oil circuit must be equal to the pressure of the outside atmosphere. 7. Disassembling, reassembling, or discarding an accumulator !WARNING*: Reduce the pressure inside the work oil circuit to the pressure of the atmosphere and completely discharge the fluid from the accumulator before attempting to disassemble it. If you attempted to disassemble it with some pressure inside, you could be injured by the pressure. !WARNING*: Before discharging the fluid from an accumulator, ensure that the area is well ventilated. Otherwise, there could be a danger of oxygen deficiency. Also ensure that there is no person or objects that could be easily flown away in the direction in which the fluid is to be discharged. Otherwise, the high-pressure jet of the discharged fluid could injure a person or damage objects. !WARNING : After disassembling an accumulator, check and ensure that there is no significantly corroded, scratched, or deformed part in it before reassembling it. Any degraded part used undetected could endanger the safety of the accumulator. !CAUTION*: If a T-series accumulator is disassembled and its bladder is removed off through the top portion, discharge away any fluid remaining at the bottom before replacing a new bladder. Otherwise, the new bladder could be deformed and damaged by the buoyancy from the remaining fluid. !CAUTION*: When discarding an accumulator, first release both work oil and fluid pressures to the atmosphere, and then disassemble it and take necessary measures to make it unusable. Note : The WARNING or CAUTION statements with the word WARNING or CAUTION indicated by the asterisk (*) above are also marked on an accumulator in the form of a label. ³ Title:表4のみ.ec6 Page:1 Date: 2014/12/19 Fri 14:12:08 Ever since our company started to deliver bladder type accumulators in 1962, we do continuously achieve customer satisfaction by supplying the unique products in high quality and special technic.
