1. General
Bladder accumulators are pressure vessels
as defined in the pressure equipment directive
97/23 EC. They are closed vessels which
are designed and built to store fluids under
pressure. Bladder accumulators are hydraulic
accumulators with a nitrogen filled bladder
for use in hydraulic systems. Hydraulic
accumulators are specifically designed to store
and then discharge fluids under pressure.
The regulations for commissioning and
operating hydraulic accumulators which are
in force at the place of installation must be
observed.
The plant operator is exclusively responsible
for ensuring compliance with these regulations.
The certificate of conformity and other
documentation supplied with the accumulator
should be carefully stored at the place of
installation for subsequent recurrent testing.
Extensive maintenance and repair instructions
are available for work which may be carried out
on the accumulator after initial installation and
commissioning, e.g. repair work. These can be
sent to customers on request.
WARNING
All work on the hydraulic and pneumatic
connections to the accumulator shall only be
GB
carried out by suitably trained staff.
Improper installation or handling can lead to
serious accidents.
Before any work is carried out on hydraulic
equipment, the hydraulic system must be
de-pressurized.
After discharging and/or completely draining
the accumulator (e.g. to depressurise the
hydraulic system before work is carried out),
the accumulator can build up an amount of
pressure again when the lines are later shut off
on the fluid side.
This problem must be taken into account
generally and in particular before carrying
out work on hydraulic systems which include
connected hydraulic accumulators.
All the fluid-side lines connected to the
accumulator must therefore be depressurised
and after that the lines must remain open.
Only then may the appropriate work (e.g.
disassembly of the accumulator) be carried out.
On no account must any welding, soldering
or mechanical work be carried out on the
accumulator.
30
Danger of explosion if welding or
soldering is carried out!
Danger of bursting and loss of
operating permission if unauthorized
mechanical work is carried out on the
accumulator.
Hydraulic accumulators must only be
filled with nitrogen N2. Do not use other
gases: Danger of explosion!
CAUTION:
The accumulator shell can become hot.
Risk of burns.
2. Installation and
safety equipment
The equipment, installation, and operation of
hydraulic accumulators is subject to different
regulations in different countries.
In Germany the regulation is the
"Betriebssicherheitsverordnung, BetrSichV"
or EN 14359.
This sets out the following minimum equipment:
– Isolation valves,
– Equipment to prevent over-pressurisation
(this must be component-tested either by
prototype testing or by individual inspection
by expert),
– Pressure release device between the
accumulator and the isolation valves,
– Pressure measurement equipment and
marking of the permissible operating
pressure,
– Facility for a pressure test point.
The following can also be fitted:
– Excess temperature protection equipment,
– Solenoid-operated pressure release valve.
For further safety instructions and relevant
equipment (accessories), please see the
brochure „Safety Equipment for Hydraulic
Accumulators“ No. 3.552.
xxxxxx_Hydac_Blasenspeicher_gb.pdf
3. Transport and storage
Transport
The transport of gas filled accumulators
must be carried out with the greatest care
and in compliance with all relevant transport
regulations.
Only appropriate load carrying equipment
must be used for transport and handling; e.g.
magnets for rounded objects, or hemp rope or
transport strapping. Do not use chains or steel
cable.
CAUTION:
Do not put into operation any accumulator
which has been damaged during transport.
Storage
HYDAC accumulators are supplied in packing
for short-term storage. They can be stored for
up to one year if kept in dry, cool conditions
and protected from direct sunlight. If the
accumulator is charged with a pre-charge
pressure of more than 10 bar, the pressure
must be reduced to 10 bar max. (SB40:
2 bar) if the accumulator is to be stored for
more than 3 months.
4. Commissioning
Before commissioning the accumulator, if
venting is necessary, the oil side connection
must be vented via the vent screw (Item 19,
SB40: item 13/19) located on the oil valve.
CAUTION:
Before commissioning but after charging the
accumulator to the required pressure, the
required torque setting on the fluid and gas side
threaded connections must be checked and
adjusted as necessary. Care must be taken to
ensure that none of the attached components
become twisted.
For torque values see fold-out page at front.
4.1 Pre-charge pressure
Bladder accumulators are normally supplied
with a pre-charge pressure. If required by the
customer, the required pre-charge pressures
can be set. The pre-charge pressure (p0) is
indicated on a label on the accumulator body,
or stamped on the type code label.
The accumulator must be charged to the
3.201.CE6/10.10
required pressure before commissioning. The
level of pre-charge pressure is calculated from
the operating data of the system. This can
be calculated using the accumulator sizing
program ASP, for example, which is available
from HYDAC.
Critical values of the gas pre-charge pressure
p0 ≤ 0.9 • p1 (p1 = minimum operating pressure)
Permissible pressure ratio: p2 : p0 ≤ 4 : 1
Exception:
Type SB40-...A.../...40B: p0max = 20 bar
4.2 Charging gas
Hydraulic accumulators must only be charged
with nitrogen to the minimum class of 4.5.
4.3 Charging the accumulator
The HYDAC charging and testing unit FPU-1
must be used for charging the accumulator.
The charging and testing unit is supplied with a
detailed instruction manual.
See also section 5.3 of this manual.
4.4 Permissible
operating temperature
The permissible operating temperature is
determined by the material of the accumulator
body, valve, and bladder, and is indicated
on the type code label and the certificate of GB
conformity.
4.5 Permissible operating pressure
The permissible operating pressure is
determined by the material of the accumulator
body and valve, and is indicated on the type
code label and the certificate of conformity.
4.6 Installation position
It is recommended that bladder accumulators
are installed vertically, with the gas valve at the
top. Other arrangements are possible, however,
malfunctions and reduction in performance may
occur.
A height of approximately 150 mm must be
provided above the gas valve for fitting the
charging unit.
4.7 Mounting
The accumulator must be mounted such that
in the case of any vibration during operation
or any possible failure of the connection
pipework, the accumulator is securely fixed.
The mounting elements must not exert stress in
any form on the accumulator.
HYDAC offers a range of appropriate supports
for mounting accumulators securely, including
supports for extreme conditions.

5. Maintenance of the
accumulator
5.1 Basic maintenance advice
Hydac bladder accumulators are basically
maintenance-free. However in order to ensure
long and trouble-free operation, the following
maintenance procedures must be carried out
regularly:
– Test the nitrogen pre-charge pressure,
– Check that connections are tight and leak-
free,
– Check valves and protection devices for
correct operation,
– Check the mounting supports.
5.2 Testing frequency
It is recommended that the following testing
frequencies be maintained:
– after installation,
– one week after installation,
– eight weeks after installation.
If no nitrogen loss is detected, the test
frequency can be:
– once per year.
NOTE:
GB
Continuous operation at high operating
temperatures requires more frequent testing.
5.3 Testing the pre-charge
pressure
The gas pre-charge pressure can be checked
with or without the charging and testing unit
FPU-1.
On small accumulators, and wherever possible,
the pre-charge pressure should be tested
without the charging and testing unit because
this does not cause any nitrogen loss during
the test.
32
Testing with the charging and testing
unit FPU-1
The following steps should be followed for
testing or charging with the FPU-1 device:
– Release pressure from the fluid side of the
bladder accumulator.
– Unscrew the valve protection cap (6) and
sealing cap (5) from the accumulator.
– Screw the FPU-1 with Adapter A onto the
accumulator by hand, ensuring that the
O-ring (7) is present and undamaged.
– Close the release (B) on the FPU-1.
The following steps are only necessary if the
accumulator must also be charged.
– Connect the nitrogen bottle (N2) with the
pressure reducer (D) and the adapter (G)
(if any) with filling hose (F) to the FPU-1 at
the non-return valve (N).
Testing
– By turning the spindle (H) clockwise, open
the gas valve. Once the pressure gauge (M)
indicator begins to move, turn the spindle
one more full rotation.
– Read off the actual pre-charge pressure on
the pressure gauge (M).
Filling
– Slowly open the nitrogen bottle valve so that
the nitrogen can flow into the accumulator.
– From time to time interrupt the process and
read the pressure achieved on the pressure
gauge (M).
– After temperature equalisation has taken
place, check the pre-charge pressure again
and adjust if necessary.
– If the pressure is too high, it can be reduced
via the pressure release (B).
– Close the isolation valve on the nitrogen
bottle, depressurise the FPU-1, and remove
the charging unit.
– Check the sealing of the gas valve with an
appropriate leak detector spray.
– Screw on the sealing cap (5) and valve
protection cap (6), and observe torque
settings.

the fold-out page at front.

6. Service life
Like all pressure vessels, HYDAC bladder GB
accumulators have a finite service life. The
lifetime is dependant on the magnitude of the
pressure cycle, and also on the number of such
cycles.
The permitted stress cycles and the max.
fluctuation in pressure for the pressure vessel
are specified in the Declaration of Conformity.
The authorised representative can use this
data to determine the operational life of the
hydraulic accumulator depending on the
operating parameters of the hydraulic system.
