A hydro-pneumatic accumulator must be filled with dry inert gas, such as the nitrogen gas, while there is no fluid in the fluid chamber. The pre-charge level of the gas medium is an essential parameter for the gas accumulator since the pre-charge pressure along with the accumulator volume determines the maximum amount of hydraulic energy that can be stored in it.
In general, a gas accumulator is pre-charged to a certain percentage of the minimum system pressure, depending upon the type of accumulator and application, and usually as per the recommendation of its manufacturer.
Typically, the pre-charge pressure can be taken as 80 to 90 per cent of the minimum working (operating) pressure of the system for energy storage applications.
The pre-charge pressure for a pulsation compensator or a shock absorber can be taken as 65 to 80 per cent of the minimum operating pressure.
