The O&G bladder accumulator is specially designed and developed for the hazardous environments encountered within the Oil and Gas industry however it is also ideally suited for other highly demanding markets. They meet a wide range of approvals and are tailor made to meet your requirements (e.g. special coatings, IP-class and ATEX/Ex approvals).

Utilizing comprehensive tools and resources including an applications database, CAD/CAM, finite element analysis, reliability studies and simulation we have optimized the design and performance of the accumulator. Parker Olaer bladder accumulators are suitable for use in more than 35 countries (all hydraulic accumulators for Europe are CE marked) and they can meet an extensive range of international and industry approvals.

Rigorous product testing and continuous product development help to ensure our hydraulic accumulators operate at optimum efficiency and can perform in the most demanding environments. Parker accumulator accessories such as Safety Blocks, Burst Discs and Permanent Charging Sets, can aid the safe installation and operation of the accumulators in any hydraulic system.

Parker Olaer have developed very sophisticated simulation software to optimize sizing recommendations for hydraulic accumulators. You can download the accumulator sizing software from the Product Support tab.

Function:
Hydraulic accumulators are an essential component for the optimum operation of a hydraulic circuit. The accumulator enables:

• Energy Storage: Saves energy without loss and redistributes when required therefore reducing installed power.
• Pressure Compensation: Absorbs pressure spikes from pumps or other components to control pressure and flow rates in the hydraulic circuit.
• Volume Control: Absorbs fluid volume variations induced by temperature changes in a closed hydraulic circuit and maintains a rated pressure.
• Emergency Energy Storage: In case of failure of the main energy source, these accumulators can provide sufficient energy to complete an operation or to realize a full hydraulic cycle.  
• Hydraulic Spring/Shock Absorber: A bladder accumulator can act as a gas spring suppressing shocks and vibrations in hydraulic systems of lifting vehicles (e.g. Forklift trucks) and maintains real suspension of the load on a gas spring.

We have included a small selection of part numbers, please download the O&G bladder accumulator brochure for more information or contact us.
