Abstract:
An accumulator including a shell (1) divided into a gas chamber (9) and a fluid inflow chamber (6) by a bladder (32) made of a cold-resistant and gas-barrier laminated sheet which includes a polyvinyl alcohol type resin film (20) containing a polyol type plasticizer in an amount of 15% to 50% by weight, a rubber sheet layer (21) laminated at least on one side of the polyvinyl alcohol type resin film and a film (23) disposed therebetween of a non-vapor and non-plasticizer-permeable resin film.
Abstract:
A hydraulic accumulator of the liquid-gas type, comprising a rigid housing (11) defining an internal chamber (11C) and a gas port (30) and a liquid port (19). A gas charging valve (31) is disposed in the gas port (30) to control the admission of high pressure gas. A deformable, semi-permeable separator (35) is disposed within the housing (11) to separate said internal chamber (11C) into a gas chamber (33) in communication with the gas port (30), and a liquid chamber (21) in communication with the liquid port (19). A means (41) is disposed within the liquid chamber (21) for receiving and collecting gas which passes from the gas chamber (33), through the semi-permeable separator (35), and into said liquid chamber (21). Also included is a conduit means (45) having one end (45a) in fluid communication with the gas collecting means (41), and another end (45b) operably associated with the housing (11,27) to communicate gas from the gas collecting means (41) out of said liquid chamber (21).
Abstract:
In an accumulator which is provided in a pipe of an equipment so as to temporarily accumulate a pressure within a piping flow passage or absorb a pulsation of a fluid pressure generated within the pipe by a pump or the like, in order to improve a durability against repeated bending and stretching motions of a bladder (3) under a low temperature environment not more than 0 °C, and effectively prevent a cushion gas in a gas chamber from being reduced, the bladder (3) has a laminated structure, for example, constituted of a center elastic layer (321), a gas shielding layer (322) in an outer side thereof and an outer elastic layer (323) in a further outer side thereof, the center elastic layer (321), the gas shielding layer (322) and the outer elastic layer (323) are made of a polyamide resin, and the gas shielding layer (322) has a module of bending elasticity higher than that of the center elastic layer (321) and the outer elastic layer (323).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pressure accumulator comprising a membrane (4) which forms a movable separating element between media spaces (6, 8) and which is made of contiguous layers (16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26) of different materials, said pressure accumulator being characterized in that at least one layer of a basic structure (16, 20) having filaments and provided with a gas-tight impregnation (24) is disposed between layers (18) made of an elastomer.
Abstract:
A bladder for a high pressure accumulator includes a metal foil layer adhered to the inside of a rubber bladder with a paint-on adhesive. A position contactor switch is further provided to signal position of the bladder within the accumulator and thereby prevent an undesired shut-off.
Abstract:
In one aspect of the present invention, a system for performing work has a hydraulic circuit adapted to store energy within a hose. The hose has an elastic inner layer pre-tensioned by a radial tensioning component disposed within the hose and at least one reinforcing layer of elastic thread disposed around and compressing the inner layer. A hydraulic fluid is in the circuit and in communication with the hose, the radial tensioning component and with a hydraulic actuator for doing the work. The circuit has a mechanism for pressurizing the hydraulic circuit in order to perform the work.

Abstract:
Hydropneumatic accumulator of the type comprising a sphere having an internal cavity subdivided into two chambers, one chamber containing a gas and the other a liquid. The subdivision is accomplished by an elastic impermeable membrane for the gas and liquid, the membrane being formed and comprising a copolymeric impermeable film including OH groups, and being impermeable to gas, two layers between which the film is incorporated and including an elastic material of a copolymer having blocks of polyamides and blocks of polyethers and a rubber coating of elastic material positioned on at least one of the layers.
