The effect of hydraulic accumulator on the performance of hydraulic system

Abstract EN

The purpose of this paper is to depict the effect of adding a hydraulic accumulator to a hydraulic system.

The experimental work includes using measuring devices with interface to measure the pressure and the vibration of the system directly by computer so as to show the effect of accumulator graphically for real conditions, also the effects of hydraulic accumulator for different applications have been tested.

A simulation analysis of the hydraulic control system using MATLAB.

R2010b to study was made to study the stability of the system depending on the transfer function, to estimate the effect of adding the accumulator on stability of the system.

A physical simulation test was made for the hydraulic system using MATLAB to show the effect of the accumulator when it's connected to the system for different parameters and compare it with a PID controller.

The hydraulic system has been simulated and tested using Automation Studio (AS) to measure different data such as the linear speed of hydraulic cylinder and the effect of connecting the accumulator to the system.

All the results showed that the hydraulic accumulator has a great benefits and a large enhancement to the hydraulic system.
