Accumulators Inc's standard bladder accumulator consists of a molded rubber bladder inside a forged steel shell with a
nitrogen gas valve on one end and a fluid port at the other. The flexible bladder provides excellent separation
between the fluid and gas in the accumulator, while the seamless shell provides high strength to contain
pressure. Additionally, our design ensures the accumulator cannot be disassembled while under pressure.
Before typical use, the bladder must be charged with a calculated pressure of nitrogen gas as determined
by the application requirements. As system pressure changes, the nitrogen-charged bladder expands or
contracts within the shell, allowing the accumulator to discharge or absorb fluid from the system as necessary.
All of our bladder accumulators are ASME code stamped.
Bladder accumulators are durable and efficient and have a wide variety of applications such as blowout preventer
systems, pulsation dampening, hydraulic power units, fluid volume compensation, wind energy, and many other
industrial applications.
Bladder accumulators have several advantages over other types of accumulators:
Rapid response to pressure changes and work cycle
Complete separation of gas and fluid
Highly resistant to fluid contamination
Low maintenance, trouble-free operation
Readily available, low cost replacement parts
Eliminates costly down time on expensive systems due to simple repair
