Hi all,
Could someone help me out with this. I'm trying to do a rough calculation of sizing a accumulator (whats the required volume), but I've not done this before and I'm completely stuck. I asked a work mate but he just stared blankly at me. I think I've got to apply boyles law, but I'm just going around in circles.
The things that I know;
Max system pressure 200bar
Min system working pressure 150bar
Accumulator precharge pressure: 100bar
Pump flow rate : 0.8 litres per second
What other things do I need to do this calc?
Regards
aero.
