For use with certain aggressive or corrosive fluids, or in a corrosive environment, HYDAC offers protective coatings and corrosive resistant materials (i.e. stainless steel) for the accumulator parts that come in contact with the fluid, or are exposed to the hostile environment.

HYDAC bladder accumulators can be installed in any orientation depending upon the application. When installing vertically or at an angle, the fluid port must be at the bottom. On certain applications listed below, specific positions are preferable:

• Energy Storage:
• vertical
• Pulsation Dampening:
• any position from vertical to horizontal
• Maintaining Constant Pressure:
• any position from vertical to horizontal
• Volume Compensation:
• any position from vertical to horizontal

HYDAC bladder accumulators are designed to be screwed directly onto the system. We also recommend the use of our mounting components, to minimize risk of failure due to system vibrations.
