Dual Accumulator Charging Valve
Dual Accumulator Charging Valve

Charges accumulators in a dual hydraulic brake circuit

Features and innovation

  • Supplies oil to accumulators from an open center circuit, on demand, at a preset rate
  • Uses power developed in the main hydraulic system
  • When used in a redundant hydraulic brake system each brake circuit is separately controlled
  • Designed for mobile equipment with varying pump flows
  • Flow capacity up to 246 l / min (65 gpm)
  • Built-in relief valve to limit the main hydraulic system pressure, models available
  • Relief valves available to comply with Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 97/23/EC)
  • Load sensing models available

Customer value

  • Remotely mounted from brake valves
  • No secondary fluid source is required
  • Integrates easily into the hydraulic braking system
  • Improves efficiency by having no continuous drain of oil to reservoir
  • Large variety of pressure ranges between high and low limits are available in order to reduce pump cycle time

Difference

  • Ability to customize presets for high charging limit and low charging limit
  • Enables energy efficient charging cycles
  • Monitors both accumulator circuits using single low pressure switch
  • Compact design is customizable to application requirements
  • Proven design with more than 35 years of manufacturing
