Large Bladder Accumulators Reduce Pipeline Complexity

March 16, 2015

Fluid Energy Controls now offers bladder accumulators in sizes up to 45 gallons, enabling the use of fewer accumulators as compared to smaller 10, 11, or 15 gallon sizes. Large-size accumulators suit applications requiring large fluid volume, such as steel mills, rubber molding machines, paper mills, and processing plants. The accumulators are manufactured and certified in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1, and are rated at 3000 psi. The shells consist of spun Cr-Mo steel, and come standard with Buna-N bladders. Top-repairable design provides easy access for maintenance without removing the accumulator from the pipeline.
