    The document discusses accumulators, which are devices that store potential energy through gravity, springs, or compressed gases. There are three basic types of accumulators - weight-loaded, spring-loaded, and gas-loaded. Gas-loaded accumulators fall into nonseparator and separator types, with the latter including piston, diaphragm, and bladder styles. Accumulators have four main applications in hydraulic systems as an auxiliary power source, leakage compensator, emergency power source, and hydraulic shock absorber.

    Ancillary Hydraulic Devices


    By Mohd Darnalis A.Rahman

    Learning objectives
    Upon Completing this chapter, you should be able to: Describe the purpose, construction, & operation of various accumulators. Explain the operations of accumulator circuits

    1.

    2.

    Introduction

    Ancillary hydraulic devices


    An important components that do not fall under the major categories of pumps, valve, actuators, conductors, & fittings. This chapter deals with devices such as, reservoirs, accumulators, pressure intensifiers, sealing devices, heat exchangers, pressure gages, & flow meters.

    Accumulators

    Defined as,
    A device that stores potential energy by means of either gravity, mechanical springs, or compressed gases. The stored potential energy is a quick secondary source of fluid power capable of doing useful work. There are three(3) basic types of accumulators used in hydraulic system.
    1. 2. 3.

    Weight-loaded, or gravity, type. Spring-loaded type Gas-loaded type.
