Epe italiana is the Italian Company worlwide leader in the production of hydropneumatic accumulators for industrial and mobile applications. With 45 years’ experience in this field, it can offer a wide range of products that meet the strictest international standards.
[pdf] Piston accumulators store hydraulic fluid under pressure, using a movable piston to separate the fluid from a gas pre-charge. This stored energy can be released on demand to supplement pump flow, maintain pressure during system fluctuations, or provide emergency power.
[pdf] The safety block allows for isolation of the accumulator for maintenance or system testing, and will function as an emergency shut-off device or pressure relief valve to protect the hydraulic system from over-pressurization or system failure.
[pdf] When system pressure increases, hydraulic fluid enters the accumulator, forcing the piston to compress the nitrogen gas. This compression stores potential energy, much like compressing a spring.
[pdf] For optimal efficiency, hydraulic systems typically operate with pressure ratios between 2:1 and 3:1, though specific applications may require different ratios.
[pdf] Enter the American small hydraulic station accumulator, the equivalent of a triple-shot espresso for your machinery. These compact devices store pressurized hydraulic fluid to meet peak demands, prevent system shocks, and keep operations smoother than a jazz saxophonist [2] [7].
