May I ask what is the function of the accumulator in a compressor oil system, and how does it work? Thank you!

Its function is to maintain the stability of the opening and closing of the turbine’s main steam valve. The working principle involves regulating this stability by ensuring a constant pressure of the control oil; if the oil pressure drops, the accumulator can be used to release pressure, thereby maintaining a stable oil pressure

There are accumulators on both the lubricating oil and the power oil in the unit; these accumulators are used to stabilize the oil pressure. When the oil pump operates in reverse or there are fluctuations, the system’s oil pressure changes. The unit has strict requirements regarding oil pressure, and a shutdown interlock is activated when the oil pressure drops too low. 【The accumulator is used to stabilize oil pressure.】 I’ve never seen this before; I think it works in a way similar to a balloon!

Add the most crucial point: eliminate the peaks and valleys in pressure fluctuations, thereby reducing the impact of the maximum instantaneous forces within the oil system. (Absorb the destructive energy of phenomena similar to water hammer)

It is used to stabilize the system’s oil pressure. In my personal experience, its function is similar to close-quarters grappling in martial arts. This post was last edited by Lu Junrang on 2009-3-18 16:41]

Its function is to stabilize the oil pressure; it’s probably because the difference from the storage tank isn’t large enough

It is used for voltage stabilization. There are nitrogen airbags among them. Maintain a certain pressure. When the oil pressure exceeds a certain value, the air bag is compressed; when the oil pressure is below this value, the air bag expands. Pressurize the fuel system. Such accumulators are commonly used in turbines.

It is used to stabilize the oil pressure and prevent large fluctuations in the control oil during operation. Nitrogen is used as the medium for providing balanced pressure; when the pressure of the oil is higher than the set value, the oil flows into the accumulator, while when the oil pressure is low, the accumulator releases oil back into the system, thereby ensuring stable operation of the oil system. 2. In the event of an emergency in the oil system. He can provide short-term fuel supply

Agree with the first half; I disagree with the idea that the latter half provides oil. Isn’t this accumulator that big? 【I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s probably not significant】; in the event of an oil pump failure, there are the faulty oil pump and the high-level fuel tank to provide lubricating oil for the engine to keep it running.

1. The accumulator is used to stabilize the oil pressure. When the oil pump operates in reverse or there are fluctuations, the system’s oil pressure changes. The unit has strict requirements regarding oil pressure, and a shutdown interlock is activated when the oil pressure drops. 2. The high-position fuel tank is used for temporary fuel supply

In simple terms, a accumulator is a rubber bladder placed inside a steel container, filled with nitrogen, which helps to buffer the oil pressure in the system
