accumulator - Diaphragm/ Membrane Type (FAD)
FAD is a hydro-pneumatic accumulator used to store liquid under pressure. A flexible membrane or diaphragm is fitted into the body to separate the nitrogen and oil chambers. An inert gas like Nitrogen is charged into the port G1 through a pressure valve to a pressure P0. As the diaphragm expands, it fills the complete volume of the accumulator body V0.
When connected to a hydraulic system with pressure P1, which is higher than P0, the oil now compresses the nitrogen and thereby reduces the gas volume to V1. A potential energy is now stored in the accumulator to be utilised whenever needed to absorb shocks, stabilise flow, leakage compensation and reduce any vibrations in hydraulic systems and thus improve equipment performance.
