Hydraulic Accumulator, HydroPad

All 316L stainless steel, edge-welded, metal bellows housed within a charged compressible gas, robust metal shell.  Completely maintenance-free.  Available from volume sizes of 2. cubic inch up thru 50,000. cubic inch sizes, with pressure ratings up to 3,000.psi in many models; temperature range of -20. to 650.deg.F for std. design (or -325. to 1,200.deg.F in an optional stainless steel housing design).

For use in the following applications:

Thermal Expansion Compensator – for thermal growth within a closed system, to maintain a more constant pressure;

Surge Absorber – for sudden velocity changes within a piping system, limiting pressure spikes (water hammer, quick closing valves, pump start up/shut down, back surge);

Pulsation Dampener – for controlling pressure pulsations in systems with positive displacement pumps;

Suction Stabilizer – for eliminating acceleration head, ensuring the suction side of a pump will not starve and operate for efficiently;

Supplemental Hydraulic Power – for hydraulic systems needing a slight power boost or emergency power, increases system efficiency and operational safety;

Leakage Makeup – for systems that need to account for compensating for leakage, provides a critical reserve of operating fluid.
