The equipment, installation and operation of
hydraulic accumulators is subject to different
regulations in different countries.
In the Federal Republic of Germany this is
regulated by the „Health and Safety at Work"
(BetrSichV) regulation or EN14359. This
stipulates the following minimum equipment:
– Shut-off device,
– Device which protects against over-
pressurisation (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
– Solenoid-operated pressure release valve
For further safety information and relevant
equipment (accessories), please refer to the
following brochures:
„Safety Equipment for Hydraulic Accumulators"
No. 3.552,
„Charging and Testing Unit FPU"
No. 3.501 and
„Safety and Shut-off Block SAF/DSV"
No. 3.551.

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 diaphragm accumulator which has been
damaged during transport must not be put
into operation.
Storage
The hydraulic accumulator must be kept in a
cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight.
The accumulator can be stored in any position.
To prevent dirt from entering the accumulator, it
must be ensured that the hydraulic connections
are sealed off.
