Equipment and safety
devices
The equipment, installation and operation of
hydraulic accumulators are subject to different
regulations in different countries.
In the Federal Republic of Germany, for
example, they are regulated by the "Industrial
Safety Regulation" (BetrSichV) or EN 14359.
This stipulates the following minimum
equipment:
– Shut-off device
– Device which protects against excessive
pressure (must be type-tested, either using
a prototype or through individual expert
assessment)
– Pressure release device between the
hydraulic accumulator and the shut-off
device
– Pressure measurement device marked with
the maximum permitted operating pressure
– Connection point for a test pressure gauge
The following can also be fitted:
– Safety device for excess temperature
– Electro-magnetic operated pressure release
valve
For further safety information and relevant
equipment (accessories), please refer to the
following brochures:
"HYDAC Accumulator Technology"
No. 3.000
"Safety Equipment for Hydraulic Accumulators"
No. 3.552
"Charging and Testing Unit FPU"
No. 3.501
"Safety and Shut-off Block SAF/DSV"
No. 3.551
NOTICE
Before mounting permanently attached
adapters on the gas side of a diaphragm
accumulator, the hex screw (1) must be
removed, see fold-out pages.
3.
Transport and storage
Transport
The transport of gas-filled hydraulic
accumulators must be carried out with the
utmost care and in compliance with all relevant
transport safety regulations (e.g. on public
roads, dangerous goods regulations, etc).
DANGER
Any damaged diaphragm accumulator must
not be put into operation.
Storage
The hydraulic accumulator can be stored in
any position. To prevent dirt from entering the
hydraulic accumulator, it must be ensured that
the hydraulic connections are sealed off.
The hydraulic accumulator must be kept in a
cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight.
