Abstract:
An industrial vehicle includes a hydraulic brake device, a hydraulic load handling device, a first hydraulic circuit, a second hydraulic circuit, a pressure compensating circuit, and a controller. The controller sets an electromagnetic valve to a first position during operation of the load handling device. The controller sets the electromagnetic valve to a second position and controls an electric motor to drive a hydraulic pump when determining that pressure needs to be accumulated in a hydraulic accumulator based on a detection result of a detector. When the electromagnetic valve is at the second position, hydraulic pressure generated by driving the hydraulic pump is applied to a pressure compensating valve and produces a force acting in a direction to disconnect the hydraulic pump and an oil tank from each other, so that hydraulic pressure is generated in a first oil passage to be accumulated in the hydraulic accumulator.
Abstract:
A mechanical seal support system includes a bladder accumulator with a first connection to the top of the bladder accumulator and a second connection to the bottom of the bladder accumulator with a device that is responsive to the pressures at each of the first and second connections of the bladder accumulator for providing an output determined by the difference between the pressures. The mechanical seal support system further includes a display for displaying the output in a manner indicative of the volume of the fluid in the bladder accumulator relative to a predetermined volume.

An apparatus for determining the position of a movable separation element which is arranged within an accumulator as a separator between a gas space and a fluid space, wherein the determination apparatus comprises at least one pressure sensor for the detection of pressure data, at least one ultrasonic sensor for the detection of ultrasonic data and at least one calculation unit for the evaluation of the data with the aid of which determination apparatus the position of the separation element can be determined
Abstract:
A hydraulic fluid reservoir (10, 10′, 10″, 10′″) comprises a body 12, 12′, 12″ 12′″) defining a variable volume chamber having one end portion movable with the level of fluid in the chamber. A biasing member (18, 18′, 18″, 18′″) acting on a traction rod (16, 16′, 16″, 16′″) extending from the movable end portion restrains movement thereof under fluid pressure. The fluid pressure in the variable volume chamber advantageously counterbalances the force of reaction in the biasing member (18, 18′, 18″, 18′″).
Abstract:
Accumulator device for a hydraulic installation which includes an interior membrane, the membrane forming a fluid-accumulation cavity. It is characterised in that the membrane includes a fold which forms two sections, a first section from the wall of the cylindrical body to the fold and a second section from the fold to the moving support element, with the fold zone moving as the moving support element moves. It allows sufficient volumes of water accumulation to space apart the starting and stopping of the electrically-driven pump, but with small diameters of the membrane's moving support element.

Abstract:
A method monitors the gas prefill pressure in hydraulic accumulators. After the pressure supply to the oil side of the accumulator has been interrupted and the contents of the tank have been emptied, the current gas temperature and the current gas pressure are determined, once the temperature has equalized. The data relating to the gas temperature and pressure is telemetrically transmitted to an evaluation unit, which is spatially located at a distance, to calculate an actual value of the gas prefill pressure which corresponds to a reference temperature.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for monitoring a pressure fluid reservoir that is equipped with an elastically-shaped media-separating element and a terminal position seal in which fluid reservoir is connected in a pressure fluid loop having a pressure generator driven by a drive unit and having at least one measuring instrument, which detects a parameter representing the operating pressure in the pressure fluid loop. The parameter is delivered to an electronic control unit, where it is further processed into a trigger signal, among others for the drive unit of the pressure generator. After the operating pressure in the pressure fluid loop has dropped below a prestressing pressure the drive unit of the pressure generator is triggered by the control unit, and via a predeterminable time interval beginning with this triggering, the signal course of the measuring instrument is plotted by the control unit and compared with a suitably memorized set-point value course. Deviations in the signal course in the positive direction allow conclusions to be drawn about possible damage in the pressure fluid reservoir, particularly at the terminal position seal.
