A Design Study in Centrifugal Steel Castings - Accumulator Cylinder                                  

Hydraulic Accumulator -- Application

U.S. Navy submarines use on-demand hydraulic pressure for system operations, using water as the working fluid. 
  • Hydraulic accumulators are used to contain and store the working fluid at full working pressures. 
  • The accumulators are cylindrical in shape with an enclosed movable piston which serves as the pressure transfer mechanism.
