Accumulators And Reservoirs

Hydraulic Accumulators
Stainless Steel
Tactair has designed a new generation of hydraulic accumulators which feature a stainless steel
construction and a fully enclosed gas end. The piston has been re-designed and optimized for low leakage
in cold conditions and endurance. Stainless steel accumulators can be designed in custom sizes and can
incorporate charging manifolds with gauges. All Stainless Steel accumulators are designed to meet or
exceed the requirements in ARP4379.

York Style
Tactair manufactures a complete line of piston type hydraulic accumulators, representing seven sizes from
25 to 400 cubic inches.

Self Displacing Accumulators

Tactair Self-Displacing Accumulators are an energy storage device which is charged during normal
operation of the hydraulic system. Once charged, the high pressure hydraulic fluid is trapped within the
accumulator until needed, then it is available as a high pressure, high flow rate source of power to start an
auxiliary power unit, or to supply high flow demands during normal system operation. The accumulator is
pre-charged with nitrogen gas through the Gas Charge Port, and this gas is the energy storage medium.
The fluid which is used as a power source is then returned to the low pressure section of the accumulator
for storage until the accumulator is once again recharged.

Reservoirs
Hydraulic
Tactair manufactures pressurized (boot-strap) and non-pressurized (vented) hydraulic reservoirs. These
reservoirs typically provide a means for fluid level indication and may be incorporated into larger system
manifolds.

Pneumatic
Tactair pneumatic reservoirs are designed in accordance with MIL-R-8573A from a patented swaged and
welded stainless steel construction. Charging pressures up to 3000 psig and maximum intermittent pressure
up to 4500psig. Class "B" 250 deg F maximum operating temperature.
