Abstract

As mathematical models of hydraulic accumulator, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and gas models are briefly described, including the isothermal and the adiabatic equations of the van der Waals equation. Measurement of gas behavior using a bladder type accumulator and a piston type accumulator was carried out. Measured data of a discharge test of the bladder accumulator and a charge test of the piston type accumulator were used to validate the models.
