Abstract:
A damper with inner and outer tubes and a piston disposed within the inner tube to define first and second working chambers. A fluid transport chamber is positioned between the inner and outer tubes. A collector chamber is positioned outside the outer tube. An intake valve assembly, abutting one end of the inner tube, is positioned inside the outer tube. An accumulator insert with an open end abutting the intake valve assembly is positioned inside the outer tube. The accumulator insert includes an accumulator sleeve, a floating piston, and a pressurized chamber. The floating piston is disposed inside the accumulator sleeve and the pressurized chamber is positioned between the floating piston and a closed end of the accumulator sleeve. An accumulation chamber is positioned between the intake valve assembly and the floating piston and the accumulator sleeve includes one or more apertures arranged in fluid communication with the collector chamber.
