HYDROPAD ACCUMULATOR

The Hydropad specialty accumulator functions as a surge suppressor, thermal expansion compensator, pulsation dampener, and as other critical liquid system components.

The Hydropad is the best product of its type, with all-stainless steel wetted parts. The compressible gas is housed in a rugged metal shell, and fluids are separated by a metal bellows. The result ensures maintenance-free service and to allow for temperatures and liquids not possible with other units.

Available in 2 cu. inch to 50,000 cu. inch sizes, and pressure ratings up to 3000 psi for many models. Temperature ranges are from -20°F to +650°F for the standard design, and from -325°F to +1200°F for the all-stainless design.

	THERMAL EXPANSION COMPENSATOR - When fluid in a closed system experiences an increase in temperature, the thermal growth of the fluid manifests itself as an increase in pressure.  The Hydropad limits the rise to a specified pressure.
	SURGE ABSORBER - Pipeline surges created by sudden changes in velocity of the liquid flowing in the system can result in high pressure spikes.  The Hydropad limits the surges to a specified pressure.
	PULSATION DAMPENER - Systems that include positive displacement pumps must control the pulsations that result from pump operation.
	SUCTION STABILIZER - The cylinders in a pump will starve without suction stabilization.  A Hydropad mounted on the inlet side of a pump eliminates acceleration head and ensures that each cylinder fills.
	SUPPLEMENTAL POWER - When a hydraulic system needs additional or emergency power, a Hydropad can greatly increase efficiency and safety.
	LEAKAGE MAKEUP - In systems where compensating for leakage is important, the Hydropad accumulator provides a critical reserve of fluid.
