Accumulators regulate the performance of a hydraulic system by providing an additional volume of system fluid, pressurized by an external gas supply. For industrial applications, there are three types of hydro-pneumatic accumulators: piston, bladder and diaphragm. Each type has particular advantages and limitations, which should be considered when selecting an accumulator for a specific application. […]
