Nakamura Bladder Care Safety Precautions: ※※※Caution for safe use of accumulators※※※ An accumulator is a pressure vessel that uses high-pressure gas to store fluid pressure. Improper use or use/modification that exceeds the design standards is extremely dangerous. Be sure to observe the following points to prevent personal and material danger and to use the product safely.
1. Accumulator selection The need to comply with national laws and regulations Accumulators are pressure vessels that use high pressure gas, so they may be subject to laws such as the High Pressure Gas Safety Act and the Industrial Safety and Health Act (Class 2 Pressure Vessel) depending on the place of use, pressure used, capacity, etc. Attention: Be careful when selecting an accumulator. If the product is intended for overseas use, please note that the laws of the country in which it will be used must be observed. Please select and use the product suitable for the operating conditions (operating pressure, required oil volume, operating temperature, type of fluid, operating environment, applicable laws, etc.). Please note that using an incorrectly selected product will not only result in a failure to achieve the expected performance, but may also have a negative effect on other equipment.
2. Installation of the accumulator Never perform welding, screwing or drilling on the accumulator, as this may cause damage such as an explosion. Secure the accumulator to the frame or wall with a band, etc. If the accumulator is only self-supporting, not only will excessive force be applied to each part due to vibration or earthquakes, but the screws may also become loose, creating a danger. Do not expose the accumulator to external heat. If there is a heat source nearby or if it is exposed to direct sunlight, install a shielding plate. If the sealed gas inside becomes hot, an abnormal pressure rise will occur, which is dangerous. In hydraulic piping systems that use accumulators, install a pressure control valve directly connected to the accumulator as a safety device to ensure that the maximum operating pressure of the accumulator is not exceeded.
3. Accumulator Charging guide / Nitrogen gas filling (Pre-Charge Pressure) Always use nitrogen gas as the gas to be filled into the accumulator. Never use oxygen or flammable gases, as this may cause a fire or explosion and lead to disasters. When a user fills an accumulator with nitrogen gas, the law does not apply, but the person in charge must receive training on handling high pressure gas and take care not to endanger third parties. Also, the charging assembly used to fill the gas must be compatible with the accumulator being used.
(1) It is an inert gas. This means it will not react to external conditions such as heat and compression or pressurization. It also does not react readily with other chemicals. (2) Although any inert gas could be used, nitrogen is the cheapest because it is the most readily available. 78% of the earth’s atmosphere is nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon and other gases. (3). Never use oxygen or compressed air to precharge an accumulator! As the oxygen is compressed it heats up and can cause a fire or explosion when mixed with the hydraulic oil. Different manufacturers and styles of accumulator require different gauging/charging assemblies. Before beginning, be sure the style of accumulator and matches the charging assemblies and that they are intended to work together.
(1) Install the hose end of the gauging/charging assembly onto the nitrogen gas bottle. (2) Verify the gas chuck is backed all the way out on the gauging assembly. (3) Make sure the bleed valve is closed. (4) Once steps #2 and #3 are verified, begin installing the gas chuck onto the gas valve. (5) Turn the gas chuck in until pressure is indicated on the gauge. Do not turn the gas chuck all the way in, as this will damage the gas valve. (6) Slowly crack open the nitrogen bottle valve; let the accumulator slowly fill until the gauge displays the desired precharge pressure. (7) Shut off the valve on the nitrogen bottle. (8) Let the precharge set for 10 to 15 minutes. If after this time, the precharge is too high, slowly open the bleed valve until desired pressure is reached. Then close the bleed valve. (9) Do NOT reduce precharge pressure by depressing the gas valve core with a foreign object (such as a screwdriver) as this may damage the valve seat. Once the desired pressure is reached, screw the gas chuck out all the way. (10) Open the bleed valve to relieve any pressure trapped in the assembly. Accumulators should be precharged slowly, as indicated in step #6. This is especially important when filling a bladder style accumulator. Below is a sequence of events outlining a common failure that will occur when a bladder style accumulator is charged too quickly: • The nitrogen will travel quickly and hit the furthest end of the bladder, extending the bladder longitudinally to the full length of the shell. • Meanwhile the rest of the bladder expands diametrically and fills out the rest of the shell. • As the bottom of the bladder reaches the poppet valve, it goes around the poppet valve trying to extrude from the port intact and whole. • By now, the rest of the bladder is also pushing down on the poppet valve which causes the portion of the bladder that is trying to extrude to get pinched. • Once pinched, the nitrogen in the bladder escapes rapidly causing either a star burst or a 3/4 circle "C" cut on the bottom of the bladder.

4. Handling the charging assembly Remove the charging assembly from the accumulator except when using it for pre-pressure, pre-pressure correction, or pressure inspection. If it is left permanently installed, it may cause gas leaks or damage to the attached pressure gauge.
5. Accumulator operation (use) Please use the accumulator below the maximum operating pressure (design pressure). Applying excessive pressure may cause damage such as explosion. If a bladder-type accumulator is left charged with gas for a long period of time (2 weeks or more) without applying hydraulic pressure, it may cause problems such as the bladder rubber sticking to the inside of the shell.
6. Accumulator maintenance The gas charging pressure of the accumulator should be checked and adjusted immediately after preloading, after one week, and then every three months. This is important to protect the bladder and maintain the functionality of the accumulator. When measuring the gas pressure, be sure to set the pressure in the hydraulic circuit to atmospheric pressure.
7. Disassembly, assembly and disposal of accumulators Before disassembling the accumulator, make sure to return the pressure in the hydraulic circuit to atmospheric pressure, completely release the gas in the accumulator, and return it to atmospheric pressure. If pressure remains inside the accumulator, it may blow out during disassembly, which may cause injury. When releasing nitrogen gas, ensure adequate ventilation. There is a risk of injury due to lack of oxygen. Also, check the direction the gas is being released from and make sure there are no people or objects moving lightly in that direction before releasing it. The force of the released gas is strong and there is a risk of injury. Before reassembling the accumulator, check that each part is free of abnormal corrosion, scratches, deformation, etc. If a defective part is used as is, there is a risk of damage such as an explosion. When reassembling the bladder of a Twin Open Series (T Series) bladder-type accumulator by removing the bladder from the top, be sure to drain the fluid that has accumulated at the bottom inside the shell. Accumulated fluid can cause abnormal deformation of the bladder due to buoyancy, which may result in the bladder being damaged. When disposing of an accumulator, both the liquid and gas pressure should be returned to atmospheric pressure, and after disassembly, the accumulator should be disposed of appropriately as industrial waste after being treated so that it cannot be reused.
