The diaphragm-type accumulator consists of a diaphragm secured in a shell and serving as an elastic barrier between the oil and the gas. The cross-sectional…
This accumulator consists of a cylinder containing a freely floating piston with proper seals, as illustrated in Figure 7.17. The piston serves as a barrier…
The non-separator type consists of a fully enclosed shell containing an oil port at the bottom and the gas-charging valve at the top. The valve…
These types of accumulators (frequently referred to as hydro-pneumatic accumulators) have been found to be more practically viable as compared with the weight and springloaded…
A spring-loaded accumulator is similar to the weight-loaded type except that the piston is preloaded with a spring. A typical cross-section of this type of…
The weight-loaded type is historically the oldest type of accumulator. It consists of a vertical heavy wall steel cylinder, which incorporates a piston with packing…
Accumulators are devices, which simply store energy in the form of fluid under pressure. This energy is in the form of potential energy of an…
A strainer is a device made of wire mesh screens, which seek to remove large solid particles from a fluid. As part of standard engineering…
Fluid enters the inlet at the bottom of the tube, passes from the inside to the outside through the filter element and exits at the…
This is a versatile filter, which can be directly welded into a reservoir’s suction and return line or conversely installed in pipes with a maximum…
