Product catalog summary
Description and Applications
Valcor Aerospace's hydraulic accumulators are designed for use in engine start systems and as backup power sources in aircraft, including helicopters. They provide high-pressure oil to drive hydraulic motors and serve as emergency power for critical functions like braking and landing gear extension. These units are particularly valued in aerospace applications where minimizing weight is crucial.

Features
  • Constructed from composite materials for high strength and low weight.
  • Equipped with dual seals for effective gas/liquid separation.
  • Self-lubricating to extend the life cycle.
  • Optional diagnostic instrumentation available.
  • Flexible envelope design for easy installation.
  • Integrated control valve module.

Technical Specifications
Valcor's accumulators store nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil under pressure, typically around 3000 PSI. The design includes a self-displacing reservoir that collects expelled oil after use. The innovative design features optimized fiber wrapping and a "sleeve within the liner" configuration, reducing weight by up to 40% compared to traditional designs.

Product Range
The document lists various Valcor Aerospace accumulators, detailing their specifications such as part number, program application, vessel dimensions, operating pressure, oil volume, fluid temperature range, over-wrap material, and self-displacement capability. Notable materials used include Kevlar®, fiberglass, and carbon, with operating pressures ranging from 3000 to 4200 psig and temperature tolerances from -65°F to 275°F.

Hydraulic Accumulators-1

Valcor Aerospace DESCRIPTION Valcor’s positive displacement hydraulic accumulators are self contained sources of hydraulic power. They store nitrogen gas and hydraulic oil under pressure (nominally 3000 PSI). The expansion of the pressurized gas serves to expel the oil from the unit upon demand. The accumulator contains its own reservoir to receive expelled oil from the high pressure side (referred to as: self displacing) after it has performed its work in the system. Valcor’s innovative accumulator design features optimized fiber wrapping and a “sleeve within the liner” configuration. Valcor’s wrapping technology can reduce weight up to 40% from that of traditional hoop wraps. Valcor’s combined analysis and in-house wrapping technology are utilized on designs that demand optimization of weight, envelope, and performance. The sleeve feature allows the piston to ride on desirable materials that are different than the preferred liner material. APPLICATION These units are used in engine start systems to provide the high pressure oil supply required to drive the hydraulic motor of the auxiliary power unit (APU). They are also used as a backup to the main hydraulic system in the event of failure, to provide emergency power for functions such as braking and landing gear extension. Primary applications are on aircraft, including helicopters, where minimum weight is of paramount importance. FEATURES • Composite material for high strength and low weight • Dual seals for positive gas/ liquid separation • Self-lubricating for extended life cycle • Diagnostic instrumentation can be provided • Envelope flexibility to suit installation • Integrated control valve module © 2016 VALCOR ENGINEERING CORPORATION
