What does a hydraulic accumulator do with energy?

A hydraulic accumulator contains a bladder filled with a compressible gas, usually nitrogen. The pressure of the gas in the bladder is known as the pre-charge, and will vary based on the ambient temperature. Hydraulic oil is pumped into the accumulator but outside of the bladder. As the oil is pumped in, the bladder compresses, which exerts a force on the oil. There is usually an pressure transducer in the system which will signal the hydraulic pump to turn off when a certain oil pressure is reached in the accumulator. A hydraulic accumulator can have several uses. It can be used to store hydraulic pressure for later use. It can be also used as a type of "shock absorber" for hydraulic systems.


Why is the fluid in the hydraulic machine liquid rather than gas?

because in its gaseous form it would be far too voluminous


What is an hydraulic accumulator?

In mobile hydraulics, those used in agricultural, industrial, and automotive applications a hydraulic accumulator works like a shock absorber for a hydraulic system. Often a hydraulic accumulator is composed of a housing with a diaphragm between the oil side and the gas side. Pressurized gas (usually dry nitrogen because of its low expansion/contraction properties in relationship to temperature). The accumulator will have a specification for the gas pressure and the hydraulic system can often be used to manipulate the pressure of the oil used in the accumulator depending upon a specific application. Rapid increases and decreases for hydraulic power demands (most often occurring in open-center systems) can shock the hydraulic pump, lines and valves. Open-center positive-displacement systems (constantly providing hydraulic flow while the engine is running) must return to sump when there is no hydraulic need. This is done by use of a relief valve or a 'dump'-valve on the pressure side of the system. There are moments when the relief valve may have a very slight delay. This delay can cause the system to build pressure in a very short period of time and this can strain hydraulic components. So the accumulator it used to soften the blow just a little. Another example would be when using a float application with a hydraulic system, an accumulator may help to buffer the changing oil directions within the hydraulic system.


Why is wind power better than gas?

Simply because wind is renewable energy, and gas isn't. But unfortunately wind power is more expensive than gas.


What is the Difference between pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders is?

Working fluid. In one it's gas (air) and in the other it's liquid. This is a much bigger difference than it might seem at first, because gases are compressible and liquids, to a very good approximation, are not.

Are hydraulic shocks better than gas shocks?

Gas shocks are considered better and are usually more expensive. They use pressurized nitrogen to absorb shock, as opposed to hydraulic which uses an oil. The oil in a hydraulic shock may foam under heavy use and lose efficiency.


What fluid is normally in hydraulic shock absorbers?

nitrogen gas


Are hydraulic shock absorbers rather that gas charged available for cars and light trucks?

yes


What is the difference between hydro shocks and nitro shocks?

Hydraulic and gas charged shocks have the same amount of oil, the difference is the gas charge. A hydraulic shock has equal amounts of dampening force in both directions. Gas charged shocks usually are pressurized with Nitrogen. Hydraulic shocks have a tendency to fade as the oil heats up and gets agitated by the shock, creating air bubbles. These air bubbles cause the shocks dampening ability to fade. The nitrogen charge keeps the air bubbles under control, so they can not affect the shocks performance. A gas shock will extend on its own due to the gas charge. General rule of thumb is that hydraulic shocks ride better, nitrogen charged shocks are stiffer, but last longer and don't have shock fade problems.


Can you put a front gas shock absorber and a rear oil shock absorber on your car?

The front and rear axle of the vehicle works independently. Unless you have different type of absorber for left and right side, if not, there will not be any harm using either gas or hydraulic on different axle. Tks

Do diesel trucks get better gas mileage than regular gas trucks?

Yes, diesel trucks generally get much better gas mileage than regular gas trucks. They even sometimes get better gas mileage than hybrid trucks.


Who invented shock absorber?

Claude Foster, founder of Gabriel the company who invented the first shock absorber, which was called the snubber in 1907. In 1918 the first hydraulic shock absorber was introduced and in 1956 the first adjustable shock absorber as well. In 1967 the first gas shock absorber came from Gabriel and from that point many other makers began copying and expanding on the initial work of the people at Gabriel.
