About the Book
Hydraulic accumulators are special devices extensively used in hydraulic systems to realize many interesting control functions. The book provides essential technical information on hydraulic accumulators. It primarily extracts this information from the materials available in the manufacturer’s domain. The book covers the functions, classification, constructional details, and comparison of various types of accumulators, including piston, diaphragm, and bladder types. It also provides detailed information on pre-charging, safety requirements, and applications of accumulators. The book has a chapter that explains some basic circuits of accumulators and another chapter that presents the topic of sizing accumulators with numerous numerical examples. Note that the book uses the SI system of units. The book concludes with information on the maintenance and specifications of accumulators.
The book is written to provide all essential information about accumulators, especially to untrained professionals and newcomers to hydraulics. The topics are logically arranged for a simple to complex-level progression of the subject matter so that readers can quickly understand accumulators’ constructional features and circuits.
