Abstract
A piston type hydro pneumatic accumulator with internal leak detection, having a gas chamber and a liquid chamber, the piston type hydro pneumatic accumulator comprising a cylindrical barrel, a floating piston, a gas end cover, a liquid end cover, a leakage detection construction having a first cylindrical channel reducing to a conical channel and further reducing to a second cylindrical channel, a floater device, the gas end cover and the liquid end cover hermetically disposed into the cylindrical barrel, a first pressure meter disposed so as to measure a pressure in the first cylindrical channel and a second pressure meter disposed so as to measure the pressure in the second cylindrical channel, the readings in the two pressure meters used for inferring a gas leakage or a liquid leakage. Also deployable a first pressure switch sensing a pressure P1 and a second pressure switch sensing a pressure P2, the output of the first pressure switch and the second pressure switch connected to a programmable logic controller, programmed so as to activate a liquid circuit for topping up of the liquid if P1>P2, activate a gas circuit for re-charging of gas if P1=P2≠0, produce a visual and or an audio signal or a combination thereof, or initiate any other corrective action.
