Abstract (en)

[origin: ES8201694A1] A hydraulic accumulator comprises two-halfs shells, the diaphragm therebetween defining two cavities. One cavity contains presssurized gas and the cavity receives hydraulic fluid under pressure. The two-half shells are held together by a mechanical element, such as a belt which has been previously prestressed to a tension selected according to the maximum pressure to which the accumulator will be subjected. The use of the prestressed mechanical element changes the dynamic stresses ordinarily found in a hydraulic accumulator to static stresses, thus minimizing the occurrence of creeks and failure of the device.
