Piston accumulator DOUCE HYDRO

The hydro pneumatic piston accumulator, or piston accumulator, is a sort of tank in a hydraulic circuit,
capable of storing a large quantity of energy with a low volume.

A piston accumulator is divided in two chambers: one for the fluid under pressure, the other one for the
nitrogen (or other type of gas). The two chambers are separated from one another by a piston.

In case of peak of pressure in the hydraulic circuit, the fluid pressure is higher than the initial pressure
(called inflation pressure). When the fluid arrives in the piston accumulator, the nitrogen will compress
and will therefore retain the corresponding fluid.
