[urq] RE : The "Bomb" possible cure and a question

[Patrick Carlier]

Ok thx for all the replies .
The plan is to use a std pressure accumulator , and adapt it
so that it will fit the ur-q flow regulator .

These accumulators come empty , and must be charged by the user
with nitrogen prior to using them .

The "burst" pressure of these devices is close to 300Bar , so that should be
ok

I'm gonna contact the manufacturer and see if this 36 to 57 bars is
sufficient information .

Will keep you all posted


Pat

Not that I want to contradict you, but the page 36 of the color IST document
(available at http://www.quattro.ca/Quattro/Quattro.htm) shows that the oil
pressure inside the accumulator might vary from 36 to 57 bars.

And then, as any engineer will tell you, you must consider a safety factor:
knowing that the pump is rated at 75 bars, a good accumulator will be rated
at least at 75 bars, IMHO.
