Piston Accumulator

Piston Accumulators

Operation of the Parker Olaer gas loaded piston accumulator is based on the considerable difference in compressibility between a gas and a liquid, enabling a large quantity of energy to be stored in an extremely compact form. This enables a liquid under pressure to be accumulated, stored and recovered at any time. When fluid under pressure enters the fluid side of the accumulator, the piston is pushed towards the gas side and the Nitrogen gas is compressed. Parker Olaer piston accumulators can be supplied with a large variety of seals suitable for high and low pressures and temperatures as well as special fluids. This is part of the flexibility of the Piston Accumulator, materials in all components can be chosen to best fit the application.
