Hydraulic Accumulator Maintenance Tips to Extend Service Life

What about a hydraulic accumulator? It may sound like a big, complicated machine, but it is really the opposite. A HONGDA hydraulic accumulator is a device that stores hydraulic fluid under pressure. It ensures that the hydraulic system of your machines is able to run smoothly and efficiently.

Whether it is a human, any other living creature or a machine; proper maintenance is essential for the longevity of a device and this definitely applies to hydraulic accumulator as well.

Inspect the accumulator Equipment and clean it regularly

Cleaning the equipment parts Once you are done with inspection, get your hydraulic accumulator clean. This involves checking that the parts are all in good working order and nothing that is dirty or any debris. Cleaning of hyd accumulator should be done with soft brush or cloth to avoid building up, which could impact the performance.

Check we have the correct amount of hydraulic fluid to keep the system healthy and happy

Ideally, hydraulic accumulators depend upon hydraulic fluid in order to function or work effectively. Regular checking of the fluid levels and making sure that the accumulator has enough level of fluid in it to perform properly is essential. This can potentially damage the system not to mention that it causes the accumulator type to malfunction if your fluid levels are too low. Always ensure the type of hydraulic fluid meets the HONGDA requirements for your specific pressure accumulator.

Conduct Regular Inspections For Leaks Or Damage

Another essential maintenance practice for hydraulic accumulators is to inspect them regularly for leaks or damage. They do attract leaks, though, in part of the hydraulic fluid they can escape from the accumulator and reduce the performance of not only it, but also essentially the entire hydraulic system. Inspect the accumulator for signs of wear and tear like cracks, holes, etc. Fix them to avoid additional issues.

Accumulator installation and mounting requirements

Correct installation and securing the accumulator is important for its performance during use and longevity. Ensure that the accumulator is mounted securely and everything is mating nice and closely and tightened up. Bad installation can result in leaks, breakages or even danger. When you are installing your hydraulic accumulator, follow the manufacturer's instructions given.

Regular accumulator pressure and performance checks

Finally, this process requires conducting regular pressure and performance tests of the hydraulic accumulator to verify that it operates correctly. This can help you to catch potential issues / failures with your riot before they turn into bigger problems. A pressure gauge can be used to measure the pressure levels and performance of the accumulator and make changes.
