●What is the accumulator? ●Accumulator potential damage?
The accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir, in Oil and nitrogen gas leakage from the accumulator are
which hydraulic fluid is held under pressure by an the major problems that arise due to damage of the
external source. The Accumulator used in KOBELCO bladder. The bladder is rubber-type inner part, which
cranes are bladder type and nitrogen gas is used as the usually expand during low system pressure and
external source. compresses on high control pressure. Thus the
continuous expansion and compression of bladder can
cause its damage.
