Introduction
Accumulator seal kits play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and longevity of hydraulic accumulators. These kits are designed to prevent leaks and ensure the proper functioning of accumulators under various environmental and operational conditions.
Components of an Accumulator Seal Kit
An accumulator seal kit typically includes a variety of seals and related components essential for maintaining accumulator performance. The main elements found in a comprehensive accumulator seal kit include:
- O-Rings: Circular elastomeric seals that prevent fluid leakage under high pressure. These rings can resist pressures up to 5,000 psi.
- Backup Rings: Provide extra support to O-rings, preventing extrusion under pressure. Typically made from Teflon, they withstand temperatures ranging from -40°F to 400°F.
- Wipers: Also known as scrapers, wipers protect internal components from contaminants and are designed to withstand multiple cycles, extending equipment life.
- Piston Seals: Enhance the sealing efficiency of accumulators and ensure minimal fluid leakage, withstanding extreme temperatures from -30°F to 250°F.
- Bearing Rings: Support and guide moving parts to prevent metal-to-metal contact, thereby reducing wear and enhancing system reliability.
- Bladder Seals: Responsible for sealing the bladder, preventing gas and fluid from mixing, thus maintaining the proper accumulator function and extending the lifespan by at least 20% over systems without these seals.
