What is a Accumulator?

An accumulator is a device used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to store pressure energy and supply it when needed. It serves various functions, including energy storage, shock and vibration absorption, pressure stabilization, and emergency fluid supply. Common types of accumulators include bladder type, piston type, and diaphragm type, each suited for different applications. For example, bladder-type accumulators offer fast response and excellent shock absorption, while piston-type accumulators are suitable for high-pressure applications. Accumulators are widely used in hydraulic machinery, construction equipment, machine tools, and the aerospace industry, contributing to improved system efficiency and extended lifespan. Proper selection and maintenance ensure safe and stable operation.

Application of Accumulator

✅Hydraulic Systems
The accumulator absorbs pressure fluctuations and helps stabilize the system’s pressure.
✅Cooling Systems
It maintains the pressure of fluids like coolant and enhances the efficiency of the system.
✅Automobile Air Conditioning
Used to stabilize the pressure in the compressor of the air conditioning system.
